64AElectronic monitoring for persons temporarily released from custody or temporarily removed from prison
This section applies to electronic monitoring imposed as a condition under section 63 or 64.
The purposes of an electronic monitoring condition are—
- to deter the person who is subject to electronic monitoring from breaching a condition that relates to his or her whereabouts; and
- to monitor compliance with a condition that relates to his or her whereabouts.
Information about a person that is obtained through electronic monitoring may be used both for the purposes specified in subsection (2) and for the following purposes:
- to verify compliance with conditions that relate to the whereabouts of the person:
- to detect non-compliance with conditions that relate to the whereabouts of the person and the commission of offences:
- to provide evidence of non-compliance with conditions that relate to the whereabouts of the person and of the commission of offences:
- to verify that the person who is subject to the electronic monitoring condition has not tampered or otherwise interfered with the ability of the electronic monitoring equipment to operate effectively and accurately.
A person who is subject to an electronic monitoring condition may be required to have electronic monitoring equipment attached to his or her body.
Where there is evidence indicating that the person who is subject to the electronic monitoring condition may have tampered with or otherwise interfered with the ability of the electronic monitoring equipment to operate effectively and accurately, the person is deemed to be unlawfully at large unless there is evidence that he or she is not unlawfully at large.
