Own Recognizance Release In Augusta GA

If an arrest warrant was required and was not obtained before the arrest, or if the arrest warrant was issued without a showing of probable cause, you can contest the validity of the arrest but you will not be set free because your was illegal. Generally if a police officer has probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, the officer may make an arrest without an arrest warrant.

You may be in custody without being arrested. You are considered "in custody" when you have been stopped by police and you do not feel that you are free to leave. The police must give you the Miranda warnings when you are in custody and when you are subject to police interrogation.

If you are in police custody and granted bail, you may pay the bail amount in exchange for a release. Release on bail is contingent on your promise to appear at all scheduled court proceedings. Bail may be granted immediately after booking or at a later bail review hearing. Alternatively, you may be released on your "own recognizance." If you are released on your own recognizance, you need not post bail, but must promise in writing to appear at all scheduled court appearances. Own recognizance release is granted after the court considers the seriousness of the offense, and your criminal record, threat to the community and ties to family and employment.
