Is this just a case of the law being too prescriptive on the need for a tag or the probation system not being flexible enough to arrange an alternative? It sounds like she was monitored during the pre-trial period without issue.
- Yeah, but if they do reasonable things, then they can't use her as an example/warning to ~~intimidate~~ persuade others to not protest except in perfectly acceptable, out of sight ways.
