No, I'm not saying that. There's a significant amount of money tied up by sureties in his case, both conditional and cash. Sureties are the traditional way of ensuring that people comply with conditions. For instance, if your wife puts up $10,000 and you know she doesn't have $10,000 to lose, the premise is the person is going to comply so as to not cause the wife to lose the money.
That's why we have sureties, and there are other means of making sure that people comply.
In my client's case the chief concern was that he could be a communications relay with others who are alleged to be involved with Muslim or Islamic extremists. The key concern is communication. The GPS doesn't address that need. I mean, how do they know who he's communicating with?
What they have is a phone intercept and a mail intercept. That's much more effective than the GPS in terms of knowing who he talks to.
