After an arrest
- Who decides release first
A judge of a local criminal court decides release at arraignment; the police do not set bail. Outside the big cities that judge is often a town or village justice who need not be a lawyer. A local court can't set bail on a class A felony or for someone with two prior felony convictions; a superior court judge decides those.
