Bail Amounts and Bail Modification in Minnesota
An individual’s bail should be set at a reasonable level and cannot be excessive. It is meant to ensure the defendant sticks around and shows up to court dates until their case is resolved. The bail amount is not meant to be punishment for an alleged crime, but some judges will still impose unnecessarily large bails. If you have been arrested for a crime and cannot afford to pay bail, contact an attorney right away. He or she can help you determine whether your bail has been set at a reasonable amount and/or if you can seek a lower bail amount.
