Best Answer

The police do not keep you in jail, the court does. The court will keep you in jail - or temporarily free on bail - until your "not guilty" status is confirmed by a court.

Either the prosecution fails to prove you guilty or prosecutors drop the charges. When the court confirms you are not guilty, you are immediately freed.
