Magistration Live Stream Viewing

What is Magistration?
Magistration is the legal process in which an arrested individual appears before a magistrate (judge) to be informed of the charges against them, advised of their rights, and have their bond amount and any conditions of release set. This is often one of the first steps in the criminal justice process following an arrest.
