ROR bail, also called ROR bond or release on recognizance, is a type of bail bond that allows a defendant to be released from custody without having to post bail. Instead of paying money for their release, the defendant simply agrees to appear in court when required. If they fail to appear, they may be subject to arrest.

There are a few requirements that must be met in order for a defendant to qualify for ROR bail.

• First, the crime must not be a capital offense.
• Second, the defendant must not have any prior convictions.
• Third, the defendant must not pose a flight risk or danger to the community. If the defendant meets all of these requirements, the court may choose to release them on their own recognizance.

However, it is important to note that ROR bail is not available in every case. In some instances, the court may deem a defendant too risky for release and require them to post bail instead. 

If you have been arrested and are awaiting your arraignment, it is important to speak with a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney who can help you understand your options and make the best decision for your situation.

Bail bonds are a complex and confusing topic, which is why it is so important to have experienced legal representation on your side. An experienced attorney will be able to explain the bail process to you in detail and help you decide if ROR bail is right for your situation.

Firstly, you need to understand the purpose of a bail bond. A bail bond is a way to ensure that a defendant will appear in court when required. If you are released on your own recognizance, this means that the court trusts you will show up for your court date and does not require you to post bail.

There are a few factors that the court will consider when deciding if you are eligible for ROR bail.

• The severity of the crime you have been charged with will play a role in the decision. If you have been charged with a capital offense, it is unlikely that you will be released on your own recognizance.

• The court will consider your criminal history. If you have any prior convictions, the court may be less likely to release you on your own recognizance.

• The court will consider whether or not you pose a flight risk. If the court believes that there is a chance you will skip town and not show up for your court date, they are unlikely to release you on your own recognizance.

• The court will consider whether or not you pose a danger to the community. If the court believes that you are a danger to the community, they are unlikely to release you on your own recognizance.

• Also, your attorney must prove to the court that you have strong ties to the community and will not skip town if released on your own recognizance. If your attorney is able to convince the court that you are not a flight risk and will appear for your court date, you may be released on your own recognizance.

After carefully considering these factors, the court will make a decision about whether or not to release you on your own recognizance. If you have been arrested, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the bail process and make the best decision for your situation.

Some crimes that usually allow for ROR bail are:



• Traffic offenses like speeding or driving without a license
• Misdemeanors like trespassing, disorderly conduct, or petty theft
• Non-violent felonies like fraud or embezzlement
• Minor drug offenses like drug possession
• First time offenders for crimes like burglary, domestic violence or assault

If you are released on ROR bail, the offense you are charged with is eligible for the Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition (ARD) program. The ARD program, which may be assisted by a lawyer, is frequently used in cases like these.
