What does it mean for the police station to be released on bail pending further investigation?

It depends.

Release on bail pending further investigation is only a change in the coercive measures. In case of violation of relevant laws and regulations, it is possible to arrest him. Whether the final result is a prison sentence is decided by the court.

Release on bail pending trial does not mean that you will not be sentenced to a real sentence and will not need to go to jail in the end. However, there are conditions for release on bail pending further investigation, and only those who are generally minor and do not do much harm can be released on bail.

Direct release on bail at the police station means that there is no need to detain or arrest for the time being, but there are certain restrictions on the suspect's freedom of movement. However, this does not mean that the case is already fine, because the investigation, prosecution and trial of the case must not be interrupted while the bail is pending. The final determination of whether there is a crime or not must wait until the investigation of the case is completed, and if it is necessary to prosecute in accordance with the law, it must wait until the court decides.
