Tamworth Local Court heard Caitlin Dawn Allan could not put her bail in "jeopardy" again after she breached her curfew by allegedly being a passenger during a police chase on Sunday night.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Rob Baillie told the court police were "very concerned" about the 28-year-old not complying with conditions, and asked that she remain behind bars.
After hearing submissions, he said as an "olive branch", the prosecution would urge her bail to be made more strict.

Legal Aid solicitor Yolondie Cherry told the court Allan was a passenger in a car in Quirindi, on her way to buy medication from the petrol station for a health condition, when an alleged police pursuit was sparked.
"She knew she couldn't drive, so she obtained a lift," Ms Cherry said.
Allan is not charged with the pursuit.
Magistrate Julie Soars said the breach of curfew was a "serious matter" and handed down stricter bail conditions, as well as a formal warning.
Allan must report to police daily, stay off drugs that aren't prescribed to her, must not contact witnesses, and must stay home unless with specific people.
"You do need to be cautious about who you are out and about with," Ms Soars said.
"If there are future issues, it's easy now to just refuse bail."
Allan's bail related to an alleged carjacking in Werris Creek last year.
Police allege Allan assaulted a female driver between 11.25am and 12pm on July 14, last year, then took off in the woman's silver Toyota Landcruiser.
Court documents show Allan is set to defend the charge of aggravated assault with intent to take and drive a motor vehicle, while armed with a weapon, at a hearing next month.
