321: Special conditions where threat or risk to security

You could also call this:

“Special rules for release when you might be a security risk”

If a District Court Judge decides to release you when you fall under section 318, they might set some special conditions. These conditions are on top of the ones in section 320. The judge can say you’re not allowed to use certain ways to communicate, like phones, the internet, or email. They can also tell you not to hang out with specific people or people who are part of certain groups. These rules are used when there’s a worry about security.
