Why You Might Be Held Before a Bail Hearing in Ontario— Even for a First-Time Offence

Under the Criminal Code of Canada, you can be held for a bail hearing even if the alleged offence seems minor — or if it was a one-time situation.

You may be held in custody and brought before a bail court if:

• You’re charged with a serious or repeat offence
• Police or the Crown believe you're a flight risk
• There are concerns about public safety or victim protection
• You're on probation, parole, or another release at the time of arrest

In some cases, even first-time offenders are denied immediate release — especially in domestic or emotionally charged incidents.

Police are often required to lay charges and hold the accused, even if the complainant does not want to proceed.

Bail Can Hinge on Perception — Not Just Facts

Whether or not you intended harm, what matters in bail court is how the allegations are perceived and whether the Crown believes:

• You may commit another offence
• You might not show up for court
• You pose a risk to the complainant or public

That's why having strong bail representation is critical — your release depends on it.

The Real-World Impact of a Bail Denial in Ontario

Being denied bail isn’t just inconvenient — it can derail your life before trial even begins.

What You Risk Without Bail:

• Held Until Trial (Weeks or Months)
• Job or Income Loss
• Disrupted Family Life
• Immigration or Travel Barriers
• Mental Health Strain



Even a few days in custody can cost you your job, disrupt your family, and hurt your defence.

Your Freedom Shouldn’t Wait

With the right legal strategy, many people qualify for release on bail, often with conditions like sureties or curfews. The key is showing the court you’re not a risk — and that starts with strong, experienced representation.
