Q. I was arrested and granted bail. Part of the bail conditions were that I stayed at home between 8pm and 7am every day and was monitored by tag. Then two days ago I was arrested for breaching my bail. The Police said they had called around to check I was at home and because I hadn’t answered the door they decided I wasn’t in. I told them I must have just slept through the knocking but they arrested me. After spending the night in custody I was told my bail conditions had been wrongly typed up by the Court and I was released. I am 12 weeks pregnant and found this very upsetting. Is there anything I can do?
