I think many of the guys posting here are thinking that the only time you can be compensated is If you've done years of hard time. That's simply not true. Just because some individuals believe that they are stuck with the present system and its inequalities doesn't mean you have to feel the same way. While I don't have a law degree, I do have a political science PhD and the wifey has been practicing for three years in the criminal realm. Don't give up. Your rights were definetly violated here.
Appreciated. Good Looks. And if it's alright I may contact you through P.M. in the future. Thanks.

i was gonna say this...if you're thinking about just receiving money, your best bet is to go after the people that falsely accused you of a crime you didn't commit.Originally Posted by Nawth21
Nope. Only if you're convicted of a crime, sent to prison, then later cleared. You could maybe bring a civil suit against the other party

Sadly, judges have way too much power in our criminal justice system, in my opinion. A judge can up your bail if they see fit, even if there is no real reason. Now we know that's total BS, but I don't think a judge is going to lose sleep at night worrying if that decision was ethical or not. When it boils down to it, they're a judge and if for any reason they thought it was safer to up your bail, then more than likely they won't be looked at as having done something wrong. That's part of a judge's duties--discretion. Whether or not we agree with that discretion is a totally different story. And there is no telling what the DA was putting in his/her ear that made your bail jump up.Originally Posted by GaBeGRaMz

Now if you were wrongfully CONVICTED and did time, only to be exonerated later....then yeah, you would be entitled to compensation.
That's fine, but my thinking is that it's the police departments duty to investigate a crime before completing an arrest and a charge. Now obviously the Judge doesn't know specifics of what the crime or situation are, but if I'm already on bail and complied with the demands of the court by showing up on the court date, how can they now increase bail with no new stipulations, in example, I was re-arrested, caught a new charge, didn't show up to court. Guilty until proven innocent ?
