Why "in this day and age", exactly?

Conditions of bail are to protect the public and prevent the actions of the accused jeopardizing the case. He is accused of running massive piracy operation remotely via the internet - naturally the conditions of bail should preclude him continuing to commit the offence.

You can't, after all, set the bail condition of "don't continue committing the crime for which you are accused".

Also, would everyone please remember this is a New Zealand court, where things tend to move a little swifter (and, dare I say it, a little saner) than the US justice system.
