Thank you for your comments.
If the courts restrict the freedom of people subject to a recognizance to keep the peace under section 810, they mainly focus on the conditions that must be met. For example, a person may have to wear a remote monitoring device, refrain from using social media, provide samples for analysis, abstain from using drugs, and so on. Failure to comply with any of these conditions can result in imprisonment for up to four years.
There are serious consequences for failing to comply with these conditions.
There is sort of a hold of the state over the person while they're subject to the peace bond, which could have significant consequences for them if they breach a condition of the peace bond. In that sense, given that there hasn't been a criminal offence committed yet, the courts have said that yes, the government may legislate in the area of preventative justice. Usually we legislate in the area of punishing people for things they did, but this is kind of a unique area where we're actually preventing a crime from occurring. We need to make sure the courts have said that we're not being overly restrictive on the liberty, given that they haven't actually committed an offence yet.
Some of these principles have underlined how the conditions are imposed, and the duration of the peace bond.
