Minnesota's law requires that people held under arrest must have a judicial determination of probable cause within 48 hours of their arrest.

Defendant's Criminal History and Community Ties Other factors that influence the bail amount include a defendant's past criminal record, a defendant's record of bail jumping (or failure to appear), whether a defendant is employed, and whether a defendant has close ties to the community.
Judges consider 13 specific factors when choosing conditions of release. Those conditions include the nature of the crime charged, the person's ties to the community, the person's financial resources, and the safety of others.
Judges determine bail and exercise discretion in determining the appropriate bail. They consider the accused's rights and the community's safety. This decision directly impacts the accused's ability to prepare for his/her defense and navigate the legal system from a position of freedom.
