Editing Bail (section)

===Denmark===
The possibility of posting bail is mentioned in passing in § 71, part 3, of the [[constitution of Denmark]].

{{blockquote|Anyone who is arrested must be put before a judge within 24 hours. If the arrestee cannot immediately be released, the judge must issue a decision, accompanied by grounds, as soon as possible and at the latest within three days, as to whether he is to be jailed, and, if he may be '''released against guaranty''', determine the kind and size hereof. In the case of Greenland, this decision may be deviated from by law, insofar as it must be seen as required by spatial circumstances.}}

The possibility is further established in [[Retsplejeloven]] (the law relating to the administration of justice) § 765:

{{blockquote|If the requirements for the use of pre-trial detention are present, but the purpose of the detention may be achieved by less invasive measures, the court, with the consent of the charged, makes a decision about a substitute for pre-trial detention.<br />''Part 2''. The court may thus decide, that the charged must (...) supply an economic guaranty for his presence at the court meeting and the carrying-out of any sentencing.}}

However, the practise is rarely used. For example, there were seven instances during the period 1973–1987.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2006-02-01|title=Du kan løslades mod kaution|url=https://www.bt.dk/content/item/873528|access-date=2021-10-19|website=www.bt.dk|language=da}}</ref>
