bond reductions for defendants who have never been arrested
So, police obtain a felony PC warrant for defendant X with say a bond of $20,000. Defense counsel files a writ seeking a bond reduction, and a hearing is set. Defendant has never been arrested or surrendered. How does the court have jurisdiction? How is the defendant "restrained" for the purposes of the writ?

Sounds like a rhetorical question.
