After an arrest
- Who decides release first
A magistrate usually sets the first conditions of release. Magistrates are not judges and need not be lawyers. For murder, rape, armed robbery, kidnapping, and other listed charges, only a judge can set release, and a magistrate may act only if no judge has done so within 48 hours of arrest.

Police must take a person arrested without a warrant before a judicial official, usually a magistrate, "without unnecessary delay." A person still in custody must then see a district court judge within 72 hours or at the next regular session of district court, whichever comes first.
