I understand that removing passports may be important in some cases, but that's already provided for in the Criminal Code, except that it's up to the court to decide. If CPC‑8 passes, however, it would no longer be possible to decide on a case-by-case basis. It would be mandatory. That bothers me a bit. I tend to trust our courts, even though they didn't always rule in my favour when I argued cases before them. Nonetheless, generally speaking, they are quite trustworthy, and I would rather have a humanized justice system that takes the distinct nature of each case into account.
