Several rights come into play when an individual is arrested and charged with a criminal offence. One of those rights is the right to have a bail hearing and the right not to be denied reasonable bail without just cause. For many minor offences, the police have been granted the power to release the accused themselves as long as they meet certain requirements, without the need for a formal bail hearing.
Yet, for other more serious offences and repeat offenders, an accused is often detained until they can appear in Court for their bail hearing. Securing bail is vital for anyone charged with a criminal offence.
