Re: Bail can he leave state

Conditions of pre-trial release, if any, can be set by the court (judge). Remaining within the state is often made a condition of release. When I have represented defendants who have needed to leave the state, for example for work reasons, we have asked the court to allow it, and this has generally been granted. However, I think that the court would look at such requests on a case-by-case basis.
