Three regions, three courthouses, three sets of habits about where bail court sits and when it starts. This page has the general picture; on the call we apply it to your situation.

Do I have to talk to the police?
No — a person does not have to answer police questions, whether that’s in person, at a station, or over the phone. You can confirm identifying information if asked, but you’re not required to explain, discuss the events, or answer follow-up questions.
What does a surety do?
A surety is an adult who tells the court they will supervise a person released on bail and who pledges an amount of money as a promise that the rules will be followed. Two things are involved: making sure the person sticks to every condition of release, and risking loss of the pledged amount if they don’t.
