After an arrest

Who decides release first

When court is not in session, jail or police staff may release a person under the judicial council's statewide bond schedule before the person sees a magistrate. A judge or magistrate may also order release by phone. Otherwise a magistrate sets release at the initial appearance and must put the order in writing.
