Why do I have to put money in the registry of the court at the time of filing an emergency replevin?

This type of replevin is considered a prejudgment writ of replevin. Section 78.068(3), Florida Statutes, requires that the Petitioner post a bond in the amount of twice the value of the goods subject to the writ or twice the balance remaining due and owing, whichever is less as determined by the Court, as security for the payment of damages the defendant may sustain when the writ is obtained wrongfully.
