I know if I got arrested (on a false charge) and had my bail set at some outrageous amount,

I can't imagine

Feel free to post something.

****, I just posted an interesting topic and ask a question, and all I get are (attempted) insults.

Section 112. [Admissibility of Remand Detention; Grounds for Arrest]
(1) Remand detention may be ordered against the accused if he is strongly suspected of the offense and if there is a ground for arrest. It may not be ordered if it is disproportionate to the significance of the case or to the penalty or measure of reform and prevention likely to be imposed.

(2) A ground for arrest shall exist if on the basis of certain facts:

1. it is established that the accused has fled or is hiding;

2. considering the circumstances of the individual case, there is a risk that the accused will evade the criminal proceedings (risk of flight); or

3. the accused's conduct gives rise to the strong suspicion that he will

a) destroy, alter, remove, suppress, or falsify evidence,

b) improperly influence co-accused, witnesses, or experts, or

c) cause others to do so,

and if, therefore, the danger exists that establishment of the truth will be made more difficult (risk of tampering with evidence).

(3) Remand detention may be ordered against an accused strongly suspected of an offense pursuant to section 129a subsection (1) or pursuant to sections 211, 212, 220a subsection (1), number 1, sections 226, 306b or 306c of the Penal Code, or insofar as life and limb of another have been endangered by an offense pursuant to section 308 subsections (1) to (3) of the Penal Code, even if there is no ground for arrest pursuant to subsection (2).

116. [Suspension of Execution of the Warrant of Arrest]
1) The judge shall suspend execution of a warrant of arrest which had been issued only for risk of flight if less incisive measures sufficiently substantiate the expectation that the purpose of remand detention can be achieved thereby. In particular, the following measures may be considered:
... ... ...
4. the furnishing of an adequate security by the accused or another person.

Section 116a. [Suspension on Bail]
(1) Bail shall be furnished by depositing cash or securities, by pledging property or in the form of surety by suitable persons.

(2) The judge shall determine the amount and type of bail at his discretion.

(3) The accused who applies for the suspension of execution of the warrant of arrest upon furnishing bail and who does not reside within the territorial scope of this statute shall be obliged to authorize a person residing in the district of the competent court to receive service on his behalf

Some countries don't allow prisoners to be released from custody pre-trial at all.

yes indeed, the implication of "false charges" is an awesome/interesting topic. I was once arrested for"reckless endangerment" (riding my sled at top speed in pedestrian traffic) NO bond so I spent the night in jail. Bummer for sure.

Walter: "strongly suspected of the offense"?

Is that where you really, really think he did it?

When all (or nearly all) evidence 'proves' it = when the procecution can explain it that way towards the examining judge.

No need for a trial then, huh? :wink:
