appearance.",[195,196,197],"Someone arrested in Santa Fe County is usually booked at the Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility. A person held in custody must be brought before a judge promptly, normally within 48 hours, for a first appearance. At that hearing the judge confirms the charges, advises the person of their rights, and sets conditions of release.","Since New Mexico's 2016 bail reform, release is not about posting money. Most people are released on conditions such as reporting, no-contact orders, or alcohol monitoring. For serious felonies the District Attorney can file a motion for pretrial detention, which triggers a separate hearing within days. Having counsel at that hearing matters more than anything else that happens in the first week.","If the charge came by citation or summons rather than arrest, the paperwork lists a court and a date.

Felonies begin in Magistrate Court but move to the First Judicial District Court after a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment. Either way, the state must turn over its evidence: police reports, lapel-camera video, breath or blood results, witness statements. Reviewing that discovery line by line is where most defenses are found.","Motions to suppress an unlawful stop, an improper breath test, or a coerced statement are filed and argued before trial. Many cases resolve after those rulings, through dismissal, a reduced charge, or a plea agreement with known consequences. Cases that do not resolve go to trial, before a jury when the charge carries jail time.","Throughout, the practical rules are simple: do not discuss the case with police, the other party, or on social media; write down what happened while it is fresh; keep every document the court or MVD gives you; and call before you make any decision you cannot take back.",{"id":216,"type":216,"displayOrder":147,"payload":217},"faq",{"eyebrow":218,"title":219,"description":19,"items":220},"Questions","First-week questions",[221,224,227],{"question":222,"answer":223},"Should I talk to the police to clear things up?","No. You have the right to remain silent and the right to a lawyer, and using them cannot be held against you.
