After an arrest

Who decides release first

Before a magistrate acts, a county jail official may release some people on their own recognizance under the sheriff's written policy, or set a capped money bail for most misdemeanors and some third-degree property and fraud felonies. The jail may not do either for violent offenses, domestic violence, or once police submit a probable cause statement. A magistrate then finds probable cause and issues a temporary pretrial status order releasing or holding the person.

Time to see a judge

After a warrantless arrest, police must give a magistrate a sworn probable cause statement within 24 hours. If the jail has no probable cause finding and pretrial status order 24 hours after booking, it must release the person on recognizance, unless a magistrate grants one 24-hour extension for good cause.
