Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Bail

The DA can make a motion at the arraignment, or at another hearing, and request the judge to increase bail. The reasons given usually involve "flight risk," or perhaps proper bail was not set to begin with.

Your attorney can then argue against it based on various factors such as: bail is excessive, strong ties to the community, no flight risk, gainful employment, etc..
