The Bail Reform Act of 1984 is codified in 18 U.S.C. § 1342, and in its most basic form focuses on two factors: a criminal defendant’s risk of flight (non appearance) and a defendant’s danger to the community. While the court is required to impose the least restrictive means to assure a defendant will appear and not pose a danger to the community, the government is also involved and heard, and forwards its respective position to the Court, which, is often quite different from what is sought by the defense. Knowing the nuances of federal bail is something your federal criminal defense attorney must possess. Your federal criminal defense attorney should also have a proven record of seeking and obtaining bail in the face of adversarial requests by the government.
