Types of bail release in the GTA
If you were taken into custody because you are suspected of committing a crime, you might have a right to attend a bail hearing and ask a judge to release you before the trial. There are two types of bail release:
- Recognizance
- Appearance notice or promise to appear
While arrested individuals have a constitutional right to a bail hearing within 24 hours of arrest, the accused may need additional time to prepare for a bail hearing, according to The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
What factors are considered in a bail hearing?
The judge will consider a variety of factors when determining bail conditions and deciding whether you should be released. Some of the factors include:
- Whether you pose a danger to the public
- The seriousness of the offence
- Your previous criminal record or pending charges
- Whether you have ever missed court hearings or trial dates in the past
- Whether you have a job, business, or family
What are the common bail conditions?
You will have to agree to certain bail conditions in order to be released from custody:
- Stay away from the alleged victim and their family
- Do not attempt to contact the victim
- Keep the peace
- Obey all laws
- Stick to a specified curfew
- Stay away from specific locations or addresses
- Do not leave the province, city, state, or country
- Comply with travel restrictions
