What are Bailable Offenses?

Bailable offenses are those for which the accused can be released on bail, i.e., they can be released from custody after giving a promise to appear in court and face trial. In other words, bailable offenses are those for which the law allows the accused to be released on bail.

Examples of bailable offenses include:

* Misdemeanors, such as disorderly conduct or petty theft
* Non-violent felonies, such as fraud or embezzlement
* Traffic offenses, such as driving under the influence (DUI) or reckless driving

In contrast, non-bailable offenses are those for which the accused cannot be released on bail. These are typically serious crimes, such as murder, rape, or armed robbery. In these cases, the law requires that the accused be held in custody until their trial.
