Charges for offences against the police
For the violence and offences against the police, John wanted to plead not guilty. However, due to a busy timetable in the Australian courts, they delayed his case. As a result, they did not list his matter for a Hearing for over a year.
Bail conditions and curfews
In the meantime, John also had strict bail conditions. For example, he had a curfew condition under s 25 of the Bail Act 2013 (‘the Act’). Basically, the curfew condition meant he could not leave his home between 8:00pm – 6:00am every day. As a result, police officers regularly visited John´s home. They also checked to see if he was complying with the condition under Section 30 of the Act.
John asked our firm, O’Brien Criminal & Civil Solicitors, for help removing curfew from bail conditions. Basically, if removed, he could work, attend the gym in the evenings, and socialise with friends and family.
