If judicial releases are ordered, prosecutors may request stays up to 72 hours to appeal or administratively detain individuals uncharged. Judges have sole decision-making authority.
Conditional releases may involve guarantees, such as bail, bond, or arrestee or guarantor money deposits.
Additional release conditions may include requiring court or investigation appearances on specified days at designated times. Restraining orders and/or travel restrictions may be imposed. Attorneys should be consulted before agreeing to any requested terms.
Unreasonable conditions should be rejected. For example, forbidding participation in peaceful demonstrations or sweeping prohibitions of activities otherwise permitted.
If unreasonable conditions are imposed, judicial appeals are possible. Filing them within seven days is required.
Violating release conditions provides grounds for rearrest. Bail and/or other release conditions are canceled if indictments aren't filed within two years from the day release conditions were signed.
The only exception is when they were extended an additional three months.
