leaving country while waiting trial

[nanscamp]

can you visit America or Canada while waiting to be tried at crown court?

[Eve.]

Is the person on bail with bail conditions?

[nanscamp]

I realise that there can be conditions, I just wondered if there was a more general answer

[furrypusscat]

It is really down to conditions which will have been put in place and to which you must adhere to.

[Kerosene]

Yeah, course you can.......well, unless your Bail conditions say something like: "Not to leave the country" OR "Not to visit America" OR (Guess?)

[NOX]

Yes as long as it doesn't contravene any bail conditions, you can go to Mars for all they'll care ( as long as you come back of course).

I think the question might be answered the other way round - will the Americans or the Canadians let you in?

Possibly not, if they knew. The Americans certainly.

[Kerosene]

Well, their home security failed miserably where the 9/11 bombers were concerned, that's for sure.

I don`t know about the US. Innocent until proven guilty and all that. You wouldn`t have been convicted yet. There`s nothing on Canadian immigration forms that asks about convictions.

If you were awaitng trial you must have been arrested , so you could not use the visa waiver system.

Not true Eddie, I had to go to trial and I was never arrested.
