After an arrest
- Who decides release first
A bail commissioner sets most first bail, especially after hours. Commissioners are residents the Chief Judge of the District Court appoints, and they need not be lawyers. They may not set bail for murder, Class A to C domestic violence crimes, or violations of a protection order; a judge decides those.
15 M.R.S. 1023- Time to see a judge
A person arrested and not released must see a judge within 48 hours, not counting weekends and holidays, or the jail must release them. A judge or justice of the peace must also find probable cause within 48 hours of a warrantless arrest, counting weekends.
