After an arrest
- Who decides release first
Illinois has no money bail. Police may release a person charged with an offense for which release can't be denied, without a judge. Anyone charged with an offense for which the state can seek detention goes before a circuit or associate judge.
725 ILCS 5/109-1- Time to see a judge
A person arrested and not released must be taken before a judge without unnecessary delay and within 48 hours, and a charge must be filed.
