Document Summary
Someone who is known to accused person. Someone who agrees to monitor accused in community on behalf of the court. Pull bail give up role as surety. Go to court and give up role. Sureties are required to pledge/demonstrate assets as guarantee they will monitor. Taking of these assets is very rare. There are informal/implicit eligibility criteria for sureties employment, clean record, accused housing. Good or upstanding citizens if giving them state power, need to meet certain high standard. Court data suggests ontario over relies on sureties.

But assumption that people have sureties to rely on.
