Whether a person is a flight risk is just a factor in setting bail. However, I think what you're generally asking for is whether the State's Attorney has the ability to increase a person's bail once it has already been set. The answer is yes. Upon verified petition, the State's Attorney's Office may bring other matters to the Court's attention in order to increase a person's bail.
