Where are you getting that "10% is the most common requirement"? I think you may be confusing the common _non-refundable_ amount charged by private bail bondsmen for much smaller bails with an actual court requirement for collateral. Is there a published standard you could point to that shows the amount of collateral typically required by US courts for bails of this size?
