(30,059 posts)capable of being released you'll be referred for other services. Otherwise, the judge has the right (and is supposed to) demand info proving where you reside before release.
Most get arrested, give all info during booking, and then bond out before making it to court. The judge can decide that your info isn't valid, that without proper ID you are a flight risk, etc.
If they don't know who you are and have no proof of ties to the community, you can be held as a flight risk. Pretty simple. Anyone who has ever watched a procedural show has heard talk of a flight risk during arraignment. If the person seems to have no ties to the community they can be judged a flight risk-that would include not being able to provide some proof of identity.
