Legal basis: Article 74 of the Criminal Procedure Law.
The people's courts, people's procuratorates and public security organs may monitor the residence of criminal suspects and defendants under any of the following circumstances:
(1) Suffering from serious illness and unable to take care of themselves;
(2) Women who are pregnant or nursing babies;
(3) Being the sole supporter of a person who cannot take care of himself;
(four) because of the special circumstances of the case or the need to handle a case, it is more appropriate to take residential surveillance measures;
(five) the detention period expires, the case has not yet been settled, and it is necessary to take residential surveillance measures.
For those who meet the conditions of obtaining a guarantor pending trial, but the criminal suspect or defendant cannot provide a guarantor or pay a deposit, they can be placed under residential surveillance.
Residential surveillance shall be carried out by public security organs.
Residential surveillance refers to a compulsory measure that the investigation organ orders the criminal suspect not to leave the designated residence without authorization and monitors his behavior. Usually applicable to criminal suspects who meet the conditions of bail pending trial, but cannot provide guarantor or deposit.
According to the relevant provisions of Chapter VI of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), residential surveillance is a compulsory measure for people's courts, people's procuratorates and public security organs to restrict criminal suspects and defendants from leaving their residences or designated residences within a specified period of time, to monitor their behavior and to restrict their personal freedom.
(1) bail pending trial means that your trouble is not too big! The government thinks that you are less destructive (less harmful to society), and it doesn't matter if you don't arrest yourself. You will not choose to escape for this matter, so you will not restrict your activities too much. Since there is a "guarantee", you are not afraid to run, you must "wait" and be on call. Therefore, in practice, in some cases, it is a great victory for lawyers to get bail pending trial.
(2) monitoring your residence shows that you really have a problem, and the government thinks you have a big problem! It is more likely to be severely punished, because the punishment is more severe, so I am afraid that you will run away, so I will hand in all my certificates! You can't even go out with your ID card and open a room in the local area (at least leave an ID card for wolves to open a room in a hotel).
