Ok. That means they are at large and wanted. I guess I'm not addressing them.

  No. If they let you out on bail, or decide to book and release you, then the time limit is different.

    Can you refuse bail? And demand a trial? I guess in this case there would be a massive pressure put on the probation office. However they may just not assign officers.

      They set the bail at the preliminary hearing, then you can pay it if you want to be free. If you don't pay it, then your trial will be expedited, but you will wait in jail until then. Sometimes 60 days is too fast for the lawyers so the defense and prosecution might request a continuance to test evidence, find witnesses, etc. I don't think probation officers are really the bottle neck. Judge availability would be the main point of pain. The vast majority of cases end in a plea deal without a trial. This already involves layers, prosecutors, probation officers, etc. But it doesn't usually involve a judge, except maybe for approval. But that's still at lot less time than a trial would be.
