Why Me?
Why Am I being Detained For a Bail Hearing?
The police look at different factors when deciding whether to release or hold you for a hearing in bail court. For example, they might look at whether you have a criminal record, the seriousness of the charges, if you are facing other charges, or if they believe you may not show up for your court date.
Reasons Why You Are Being Detained
When the Police have detained you for a bail hearing it's usually for one (or more) of the following reasons:
-
You are believed to be a flight risk*
-
You are believed to be at risk of re-offending*
-
There is very strong evidence that you have committed a serious offence*
-
You are charged with an offence while on release from a previous charge**
-
You have been charged with importing or trafficking heroin, cocaine or any other Schedule 1 substance**
-
You are not a resident of Canada**
-
You are charged with terrorism or association with a criminal organization**
-
You are charged with failure to attend court, failure to comply with a court-ordered undertaking, or failure to appear notice**
-
You have been charged with a Section 469 offence (such as murder)**
*Reasons 1-3 are reasons where the prosecutor must show the court why you should not be released.
**Reasons 4-9 are what is called 'show cause or reverse onus reasons' where you have to convince the court why you should be released.
