Existing law requires that a defendant who is in custody and is arraigned on a complaint alleging an offense that is a misdemeanor be entitled to an own recognizance release, unless the court finds that an own recognizance release will compromise public safety or will not reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant, as specified.
This bill would specify that public safety for these purposes includes protection from physical or economic injury.
