Understanding Bail Rights and Court Authority Under California Law
The right to bail is protected under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution. In California, individuals who are arrested may post bail based on predetermined bail schedules established under the California Penal Code for certain offenses.
These schedules provide standardized bail amounts depending on the nature of the alleged crime. At arraignment, it is within the discretion of the court to review and, if warranted, revoke or adjust bail conditions based on the circumstances presented.
Ultimately, any modification to bail is a judicial decision made in accordance with the law.
