Bail
part of the pre-trial procedure.
when a person is awaiting trial, decision will be made as to whether they are released back into the community or held in custody.

police can grant bail after charging a person with a crime, suspect will be bailed to appear at their local mags court on a set date, if they fail to surrender then the police can arrest them.
if police refuse bail, the suspect must be brought before mags court asap and the court will decide whether the suspect is allowed bail or not.
