Under what circumstances might bail be revoked after it has been granted?

Bail can be revoked after it has been granted primarily due to violations of the conditions set during the release process. This includes situations where the defendant either breaches specific conditions of their release or engages in new criminal behavior. Courts establish conditions to ensure that the defendant remains compliant and does not pose a risk to public safety or the integrity of the judicial process.

For instance, if a defendant was required to refrain from contacting certain individuals or complying with curfews and fails to do so, these actions can demonstrate a disregard for the court's orders, thereby justifying revocation of bail. Similarly, if a defendant commits a new offense while out on bail, it underscores a failure to adhere to the law, which can lead to the conclusion that the risk to public safety has increased, prompting the court to revoke bail.

In contrast, securing employment or having a family member pay more money does not typically factor into the court's decision to revoke bail. Attending all court hearings also does not constitute a reason for revocation, as fulfilling court appearances is a condition that supports the continuation of bail rather than its revocation.
