The Patriots have been relying on this play in big moments of big games for the last several years. Why? It has built in answers to every single coverage you could ever see,
making it great no matter what you face week to week. You can also call
this on 1st, 2nd or 3rd down, which makes it an easy play to call no
matter the situation. The concept can also be incorporated into almost any offensive
system. Once your players learn this concept, you can carryover the
fundamentals to several other routes. This concept is a combination of some of the most used route combos
against each type of coverage you can face. By adjusting one or two
receivers during the pre-snap process you will create a combo that is
good versus the coverage you face each play. We have been doing this at
the high school level for years. In this course you will get: A basic overview of the play (using NFL footage) 3D playbook installation overview Detailed information on each player's route How to communicate the play between the coach, QB and WR's How to practice the concept How to disguise the concept How to use it as a full field concept How to use it as a back side or front side tag How to use it as an RPO After
getting access to this course, feel free to contact Thad on how he
further utilizes this concept in his offense, or with any other
questions you may have. Book this course......

This chest workout from James Grage can be done anywhere. He won't be using any machines or free weights, but will instead only use resistance bands. ► Shop Undersun Resistance Bands: https://bbcom.me/3goGzNE ► Jacked at Home: Bodyweight Muscle-Building Workouts: https://bbcom.me/2ZDJY5u
| Why Bands, You Ask? | Bands offer the unique advantage of being portable, versatile, and dynamic. You can easily transition between exercises to get a killer, full-body workout anytime, anywhere, in a very short amount of time. But aside from their convenience, the dynamic resistance of bands is uniquely excellent at pumping blood into your muscles while you train, making bands the perfect tool for building muscle.
"The free motion of the bands is very different," explains Morin. "You get in, you break a sweat, and you get a good pump. That's what I enjoy most about it."
You'll definitely get a massive pump with this workout, especially with the way the sets are structured.
Each exercise is done for 60 seconds with only 30 seconds of rest in between. Since the rest periods are very short, this workout gets intense fast. You'll have just enough time to catch your breath and grab a sip of water. Just don't go too far, because that next exercise will come faster than you think!

Sculpt a lean, muscular body without going to the gym with Undersun Strength Bands.
Lose weight, build muscle and gain strength with Undersun Resistance Bands. Each loop resistance band is constructed with a durable seamless design to resist breakage and provide maximum results that you can take anywhere. We want to keep the planet green, and that's why all Undersun Resistance Bands are made of eco-friendly 100% Natural Latex.
| An Entire Gym In A Bag | Undersun Strength Bands can duplicate any exercise you would do in the gym. Weights only create resistance in the vertical plane, as they resist gravity, which is why gyms are filled with so many machines. With Undersun Strength Bands you have unlimited exercise options, with resistance in every plane.
Train Anytime.
Train Anywhere | The Power of VRT (Variable Resistance Training | Undersun Strength Bands create a very unique kind of tension called VRT, or Variable Resistance Training. VRT more closely matches the natural strength curve of your muscles than weights, which means better muscular contractions and therefore more muscle-building benefits.
| Undersun Strength Bands vs. Resistance Tube Bands | There are two main types of bands on the market: loop style bands (Undersun Strength Bands) and resistance tube bands.
Tube bands typically have handles at either end, while loop bands are "closed" and don't have ends, or handles.
And while it may seem like handles would make the bands easier to grip and more user-friendly, this isn't the case. First of all, gripping the band itself is just as easy as holding a handle.
More Grip Options- - Holding the band itself, as you do with Undersun Strength Bands, offers more possible grip positions and even allow you to switch grips mid-set. With handles, you hands are fixed in position and have less freedom to move and change grips. By varying your grip position you are able to shorten or lengthen the band, creating more or less tension, through Variable Resistance.
No "Dead Space" - The handles on tube bands create a "dead space" of a few inches (or more) between the end of the band and your hand. Not only can this make certain exercises feel clumsy, there's no resistance in the dead space. With Undersun bands, there's no dead space - your hand connects directly with the band - and thus, no loss of resistance.
Find out why it may be beneficial to use MCT oil in your coffee—especially if you’re new to keto and intermittent fasting.
You may have heard of something called bulletproof coffee. Bulletproof coffee is one 8oz-12oz cup of coffee mixed with 1-2 tbsp of butter and 1-2 tbsp of MCT oil.
There can be a lot of benefits of consuming this, especially when you’re first starting out on keto and intermittent fasting because it may help you fast for longer.
MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. These are special fats usually made from coconut oil that turns into ketones pretty fast. This helps you potentially generate ketones as fuel without really changing your diet.
Sometimes, when making bulletproof coffee, people also add ingredients such as: • Turmeric • Cinnamon • Unflavored chocolate powder • Sea salt • Chili powder
Benefits of MCT oil in coffee: 1. More physical energy 2. Increased mental clarity 3. Reduced appetite 4. More oxygen 5. Increased fasting 6. Helps with the transition to burning fat
Pretty much all MCT oil companies get their products from the same source. The United States doesn’t grow coconuts, so MCT oil comes from non-US sources. I have an MCT oil product that is from Indonesia.
I believe that typically MCT oil is overpriced. Many brands sell MCT oil for $25 to $45 for one 16oz bottle. I sell my MCT oil for $12.95. Many people enjoy bulletproof coffee, you may want to give it a try too!

Daytona Beach, Florida — Two members of the Daytona Beach Police Department (DBPD) were involved in a shooting this morning (May 25, 2020) while investigating an armed carjacking call.
The officer and sergeant who used their handguns in that incident are now on paid administrative leave as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) investigates. This is standard in officer-involved shootings. Both responded to the Wawa on 120 South Ridgewood Avenue soon after Volusia County emergency dispatchers received a call for help at 8:08 a.m. It all started at the Popeye’s restaurant near Wawa (101 North Ridgewood Avenue) when a man allegedly attempted to carjack a woman who works there.
The victim fought her way free, fled the scene towards Wawa and called for police from there. When the officer arrived on scene, he spotted a man on the north side of the Wawa parking lot on foot and armed with a rifle. He ordered that man to put the weapon down numerous times and fired when that man pointed the rifle at the officer. The sergeant arrived on scene as the first shots were fired by the officer. He drew his weapon and fired at the suspect until he fell to the ground. In total, six shots were fired by the officer and the sergeant. The Police department is still investigating to see if the suspect fired his weapon. Paramedics took the suspect to Halifax Health Medical Center for treatment after officers placed him in handcuffs.
He underwent surgery and is expected to recover from his injuries, according to DBPD Chief Craig Capri. “I’m very proud of my officers, the way they acted today. They were very professional. They did their jobs,” Capri said to media at the scene. “It’s unfortunate that someone had to be shot in this incident, but we didn’t start this. The suspect escalated this incident. We tried to deescalate.” The officer and sergeant involved were not injured in this incident. Neither was the woman who called for assistance or any of the other responding officers. The identities of the officers and suspect involved are not available currently as the investigation is active and ongoing.
Have you ever started something important,
only to lose confidence because you heard or saw something negative
about it? When we’re unsure of something, it’s much easier to be
discouraged from completing the task. A strong level of confidence is
critical to the success of everything we do, because when we’re
confident about something, nothing can shake our faith. We’re
susceptible to failure when we base our confidence in ourselves, but not
when we base it in Christ.
Every promise God made to us in His Word, whether it’s healing,
peace, joy, prosperity, or deliverance, is true. Having confidence in
these promises puts us in the position to receive them, but we must
always be prepared to encounter resistance. Our enemy, the devil, will
suggest things to make us wonder if the promises can actually come true
for us. This is spiritual warfare; we win when we steadfastly trust in
and rely on the finished works of Jesus until we see the peace of mind
that brings us into God’s promised place of rest. What blocks the manifestation of the promises is when we let stress,
anxiety, and worry push us out of that place of rest. This is exactly
what the devil wants, but whatever happens, we mustn’t lose focus on the
grace of God. The only time stress and anxiety threatened to overcome
Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane, but He overcame these emotions by
acknowledging His trust in God’s ability to take Him through everything
He had to go through on our behalf. Faith is required if we are to experience God’s best in our lives,
but it won’t always be easy. When we feel outside pressure weighing on
us, it takes work to stay at peace. Leaning on Christ gives us the
strength for the task and the confidence we need to stand firm. Prayer: Father God, You sent us Your Son to give us someone in whom we can
truly have confidence. Though I’m prone to make mistakes, You are not.
Total faith and trust in You brings me to that place of rest where I can
find peace, and You never let me go even when fear or stress tries to
knock me out of that rest. In Jesus’ name, I thank You. Amen.

Hi
everyone! I miss seeing you in person, and I’ll be glad when all this
is over and we can be together again. In the meantime, I want to
continue to share encouragement with you and share some powerful
Scriptures to help everyone get through this pandemic.
God wants us to have peace!
Shalom is wholeness, peace, and prosperity.
It’s
not unusual to feel a bit of fear because of everything we’re seeing
around us, and all the scary news reports. We’ve got to be careful not
to let those reports influence us, because they have the potential for
putting us in panic mode. We are spirits living in physical bodies and
possessing souls, which is where our emotions reside. God wants us to
prosper emotionally; in other words, He wants us to have peace in our
souls. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3
John 1:2). Thank the Lord that you are whole, healed, and sound. Thank
Him that your relationships are right, you don’t walk in strife, and you
are delivered because of the body of Jesus Christ!
Peace is our most valuable asset!
Be filled with the joy, love, and peace of God.
We
need to guard our eye gates and our ear gates carefully, because the
enemy uses the bad things we see and hear to steal our peace. As I’ve
said before, peace is our most valuable asset! Whatever it is we’re contemplating, it’s too expensive if it costs us our peace.
Staying connected to God in prayer, and focusing on Jesus Christ and
the good health He’s made available to us, helps us maintain our peace. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians
4:7). Guard your ears today; guard your eyes today; speak the Word of
God out of your mouth today. Every weapon that’s formed against you,
catch it and say, “No, no, that won’t happen to me. I live by the Word
of God. I’m not moved by what I see. I’m not moved by what I hear. I’m
moved by the Word of God!”
Master your emotions with peace!
God’s peace is available to you.
Fear
stands for “false evidence appearing real.” Fears can actually be worse
than any virus going around. Satan is fear; don’t allow him entrance
into your life. We must master our emotions with the peace that God
wants us to have. This means we need to be able to respond correctly
when negative emotions hit because of a bad situation around us.
God will deliver you from all your fears, and honor you with His
presence and power!
The Spirit of truth abides in you and teaches you all things!
The
most powerful thing you can have access to right now is the wisdom of
God. The wisdom of God is knowing what to do when you don’t know what to
do. The wisdom of God is made available to His children. It’s the thing
that just comes up out of your spirit; all of a sudden it’s in your
mind. All of a sudden wisdom, light comes on, an enlightenment comes
on. I believe that we will walk in the wisdom of God. There are some
things that have been a secret to you, but they will be revealed to you
because of the wisdom of God!
Find Scripture
There’s power in the Word of God! There’s power in speaking the Word of God! There’s power in confessing the Word of God!
A
few years ago, the doctors diagnosed me with cancer. I felt my emotions
trying to take me away, but I worked hard to maintain my peace. Another
time, I was diagnosed with meningitis. I responded to it the same
way—by finding Scriptures on healing, meditating on them, and verbally
declaring them every time I felt fear knocking on the door. I learned
that, because of God’s love for you, you can call on Him and He will
deliver you from all your fears.
God loves us!
All day, remind yourself that you’re blessed!
I want all of you to do the same thing. God loves us, and we can trust that succumbing to sickness isn’t His will for us. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” (Isaiah 26:3). This is the kind of thing to meditate on. You are loved with the love of Christ!
Coming to the aid of the community
Creflo
Dollar Ministries is committed to helping our community! We’ve given
lunches to local school children, donated supplies to nursing homes, and
purchased masks and gloves for local hospitals.
Watch this video to see how CDM is making a difference during these trying times.
We will walk in love!
Speak kind words
Ephesians 4:29, 30 says, “Let
no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is
good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the
hearers.And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”
We grieve the Holy Spirit based on how we treat one another. So, if
you’re walking in unforgiveness with someone, if you are angry with
someone, if you’re not speaking kind words to other people, when you’re
mean to people, when you take things out on people who had nothing to do
with it, the Word says that grieves the Holy Spirit. We don’t want to
have a bad attitude toward anyone and treat them mean and, in essence,
grieve the Holy Spirit because of how we’re feeling today. Today, we’re
going to walk in love. If we can’t find anything good to
say, we won’t say anything at all or we’ll just say, “Praise God.” We
won’t allow any frustrations to be used to go off on other people. Our
days will be filled with the joy, love, and peace of God!
DON’T GIVE UP, CAVE IN, OR QUIT. JUST KEEP GOING!
Here’s a special message just for you to help keep you encouraged through this time.

How To Become The Ideal Leadoff Man
By Brandon Ogle
will typically say they prefer certain attributes, but the truth is they need to possess a little bit of everything. Legendary leadoff man Kenny Lofton once said, “You can’t put your shoes on without your socks. Everything works together – shoes, socks, pants and shirts. If one is missing, you’re in trouble.” This analogy is referring to the varying skillsets needed to effectively be the man at the top.
High On-Base Percentage
First and foremost, leadoff men need to be able to get on base. Their primary responsibility is to give the power bats an opportunity to drive in some runs, which is what they do best. However, the important thing to understand here is that there are many ways to get on base. The on- base percentage statistic shouldn’t be confused with batting average. In general terms, it is calculated on every time you reach base by way of a hit, walk or hit by pitch. So, with this being the case, leadoff men need to be creative in getting on. Some guys possess the speed to bunt frequently and get on. Another scenario would be ones with a discerning eye that are tough to strikeout, while others are pure hitters that can hit to all fields. There are many ways to get on, but coaches are generally just going to be worried about whether or not you get on.
Energized
Since leadoff man possess the opportunity to get the entire dugout amped up right away, they need to be an energizing presence. Often times, I refer to this as the leadoff man having a certain level of swagger. I’m not saying they should do something to show the pitcher up, but rather get the game started in a positive manner. Whether it be working a 10-pitch walk or beating out an infield single, there are many possibilities. Hitting is a contagious trait and when you see people before you having success off a pitcher right off the bat, it can lead to good fortunes for the rest of the squad. As for the actual characteristic of being an energetic player, it’s reliant solely on production and personality. For the personality side, you can’t really teach this, it mainly comes down to the person. However, production can be developed through experience in the game.
Fast on the Base Paths
One trait that often comes to people’s mind immediately when thinking about leadoff men is their speed. You’re almost never going to see someone that’s not fleet-of-foot in the opening spot. There are many situations where this speed comes in play. First, it allows them to beat out bunts and infield grounders to increase that on-base percentage. Next, they can steal bases more easily to put themselves in scoring position for the power bats behind them. Finally, they can take extra bases on hits, such as going to first to third. Each of these plays can greatly affect a game. The offseason is a great time to improve this speed if you believe it is something holding you back from manning the leadoff spot. There are many ways to do so, but I urge practicing 100 meter sprints on the track. 100 meters are long enough to ensure you can accelerate quickly and keep top speed going for longer distances. In addition, you should practice you’re reaction time and how you’ll time jumps. This may come from agility exercises or even watching others appropriately time jumps.
Patient at the Dish
One aspect of the on-base percentage discussed above is the ability to secure walks and work the counts. Unless you’re like the Kansas City Royals’ Alcides Escobar, a leadoff man should work the pitcher and make him throw plenty of pitches. Sometimes, the first pitch might be a fastball thrown right down the middle. In these instances, it might be wise to be first-pitch swinging. However, other times, the pitcher will try to get you to swing at something outside the zone. It is at these times where a leadoff man should possess the ability to utilize a discerning eye and work the count. Another element to keep in mind is the concept of good outs. Occasionally, these can include outs that move the runner up a base, while it can also be ones that make the pitcher work and tax his or her pitch count. Even if you get out, making the pitcher throw 10- plus pitches can get him or her out of the game quicker. Being disciplined at the dish is critical to a leadoff man’s job. This video from former Major Leaguer Matt Nokes goes over many of the fundamentals to successful hitting. Don’t ignore the basics; they’re at the crux of all great hitters!
Occasional Power
While I’ve discussed extensively the element of leadoff men getting on base consistently, it also doesn’t hurt for them to be able to have a little pop. Even the speedy Juan Pierre, who once stole 68 bases in a season, hit 18 home runs over his MLB career. To back this up, it isn’t uncommon for leadoff men today to hit around 10 homeruns each season. This can provide a little more power to the lineup as a whole, as well as keep the defense honest. They can’t be cheating up while expecting a short hit or else they could fall victim to a shot over their head. In saying this, leadoff men need to stay focused and remember they’re not in the lineup to hit it deep. They’re still considered a table setter, but when the opportunity’s right, they can take a big rip.
Positions Played?
The last section I’ll discuss is the positions often occupied by leadoff men. While technically, any player can hold the leadoff position, we typically see some more than the others. These positions include second base, shortstop and center field. Part of the reason for this is since these are usually position that require plus-defenders. In addition, these positions are filed with players that are pretty good athletes and possess above-average speed. With this section, I’m not intending that you have to play these positions to hit leadoff, but rather that the skillsets between the two roles usually intertwine.
Non-Stop
When describing a leadoff man, I’m usually looking for someone that can always be counted on and plays with non-stop consistency. Since they often occupy a defensively difficult position, they need to be on top of their game every time they’re on the field. This includes always knowing the situation and when your team is desperate for a base runner. With this said, in the end, the majority of this role comes down to the ability to set the table for the power bats!

Vera Wang, Aged 70, Just Broke The Internet
Superstar fashion designer,
Vera Wang, has a body at 70 that many women in their 20s would envy.
Stuck in quarantine, like all of us, she nevertheless donned her heels
and took some selfies showing skin.
At almost 71 years of age, her flat tummy and general muscle tone made the world stand up and say "How!?"
Wang has always been her own person setting herself apart from
traditions and trends, with pieces like her orange wedding dress and
mask combo for pandemic weddings, or announcing that owns a deep freezer
just for ice cream. When she posted these pics, above, the world asked about her diet,
her workouts, her lifestyle, and she dismissed all queries with this one response, which will go down in history:
"Work, sleep, a Vodka cocktail, and not much sun."
So, as we are experts in nutrition and metabolism, strength training
and mobility, we can look at this woman's physique and know immediately
that there is more going on here. We don't see a skinny wraith here, who may have been neglecting her
health by working too much and drinking hard liquor. We see a woman who
has a few tricks up her sleeve: tricks she may not want to reveal. Let's reveal 'em, shall we?
This just in: Vera Wang works out.
We know this, because she has a personal trainer and posted pics of herself working out on her IG account. Using weights in repetitive sets, and having a trainer teach you
about workout your pecs versus delts versus biceps, is key to having a
physique that works in a cyclical loop: the fewer muscles you ignore,
the more lean muscle you build, which increases your ability to burn
more calories, which reduces fat storage, which gives you more stamina
so you can work your muscles for longer periods of time per session,
which builds more muscle, etc. HOT TIP: You don't need a personal trainer to teach you this if you follow online workouts led by trainers who provide this information at the start of every workout! Vera Wang is telling us to not take ourselves too seriously. This is
her main impact, and it's a good one. We need to eat well, sleep well,
and relax as often as possible. Work hard, yes, but still have cheat
days. Eat whole foods rather than processed foods, but ice cream every
now and then is not the end of the world! At BodyRock, we don't insist
on a rigid, disciplined system. You need to find a schedule and
lifestyle that works for you. For a lot of our BodyRockers lately, the key is to find a workout routine.
This is why we offer Bootcamps, 30 Day Challenges, and quick 5 day
workouts for Moms, and over 1000 other options for your daily workouts. GET 3 FREE MONTHS OF BODYROCK+ for a limited time! For anyone wanting to shed weight so they can hit their mat with energy and endurance, download our Meal Plan & Nutrition Guide

UAE joins nations monitoring Offenders through Electronic Tagging
Author
Dr. Hassan Elhais
The Law
No. 17 of 2018 provides for an alternative to imprisonment in certain
offences and subject to certain restrictions, which we have amplified in
the following part herein. The alternative to imprisonment comes as a
handy, electronic, portable and wearable device, which is intended to
restrict and monitor the convicts or the accused pending trial instead
of giving them a jail term or police custody during the investigation.
The device is capable to determine the geographical location of the
person wearing it and shall therefore aid the criminal enforcement
authority to ascertain the location of the accused under trial or the
convict serving his sentence under a surveillance through this
electronic device. The use of this electronic device as a monitoring
tool is allowed for a temporary period instead of a police custody or a
replacement of a criminal conviction resulting in an imprisonment
sentence. There are, however, restrictions in the use of this electronic
device, which we have provided in the following along with the
treatment to the existing convicts in light of this humanitarian, novel
and positive development in the legal system. Electronic tag as the form
of surveillance One of the most important changes the new law brings is the
establishment of the sentence served with an electronic tag as the form
of surveillance. Having the criminals under electronic monitoring will
become a first-time practice in the UAE. The law indicates that such
procedures could be applied on the accused within the criminal
investigation or even after the final judgment. It could include
restrictions for the criminal from being away from the designated
location or his home, whatever decided by Prosecution or the competent
court. As per the new changes, within the criminal investigation stage,
there could be possibility to have bail under the electronic monitoring
through the decision of Prosecution or, even upon the judgment the court
could implement the same procedures as a replacement of the sentence.
The law indicates that such procedure could include enforcing the
criminal to keep electronic device for entire period of investigation. Even when the accused was referred to the court with the electronic
tag, but the court decided that there is no jurisdiction with respect to
the matter, the accused shall remain with a right to request the
cancellation of such monitoring, unless and until the new case is filed
before the competent court. The law also indicates that if somebody was
under arrest or electronic monitoring when the court found him guilty
and he was eventually sentenced only with a fine, the court execution
department has to reduce 100 dirhams from the amount of fine per each
day spent under such arrest or electronic monitoring. The new law indicates that the concerned authority (while they are
taking their decision) shall consider giving the accused a chance to
continue his professional practice, complete his training, education,
continue receiving medical treatment or any other conditional
circumstances the competent authority might find necessary to be
considered. The law gives the police (as the nearest police station) an
authority to supervise the execution of the electronic monitoring of the
criminals. It authorizes the police to visit the accused/criminal to
make sure that he is executing the order and to check the integrity of
the devices before they submit the report to the competent Prosecution.
The law gives the right to the accused or the criminal to anytime
request from the Prosecution to check if the device is affecting his
health and to provide him with a medical report indicating the same.
Electronic monitoring for temporary period The new law authorized the Prosecution to decide on a replacement of a
police custody with electronic monitoring for investigation period,
regardless if the same has been requested by accused or not. However, it
is only possible if a prosecutor made such decision, and it also means
that the accused during the investigation period has the right to reject
the replacement of a police custody with an electronic monitoring,
which is very unlikely to happen. In this case, he can remain in police
custody until the case is decided. The same law empowers the Prosecution to prevent the accused from
contacting any of his partners in a crime and/or the victim and/or the
victim's family, yet it does not give the right to the Prosecution
restricting accused from contacting his lawyer. The law excluded the
accused in listed types of crimes from benefiting of having the
electronic monitoring option. One of the most important types of crimes
where the application of the electronic monitoring is impossible are the
crimes with mandatory deportation sentences, such as drugs, sexual and
honour related crimes. The law gives the Prosecution the right to put the accused under
electronical monitoring for a month, extendable to one additional month.
If the Prosecution wishes to extend such monitoring for additional
period, that should be done only after receiving the approval of the
competent criminal authority, in accordance with article 364 of the same
law. The law empowers the Criminal Court whether to extend or to cancel
electronic monitoring, or to release the accused conditionally or
unconditionally. Electronic monitoring as a replacement of the sentence through a criminal judgment The new law authorizes the Criminal Court to replace any jail
sentence of less than two years of imprisonment with the electronic
monitoring, if the court is convinced that the accused health condition
or age make him to be unlikely to commit the same crime again, and if
the accused has a permanent place of residence in the UAE, and if he has
a regular professional work or he has an educational activity, or he is
the only breadwinner in his family or for any other personal reasons
the court may find considerable. The law restricted the court from applying the electronic monitoring
as the sentence if the criminal commits the same crime for the second
time. A person, who will be sentenced to be under the electronic
monitoring has to keep the competent authorities updated on the changes
of his place of work or residence, if he is meant to stay in a new
location for a period of more than 2 weeks. And even though he spent
more than 2 weeks in a new location and returned back eventually, he has
to update the authorities on the same developments. The accused is
obliged to accept regular visits from the competent authorities to check
him honouring the electronic monitoring and he should not, under any
circumstances, leave the country without relevant court approval.
However, the law also gives the criminal the right to apply for leaving
the country temporarily while he is under electronic monitoring through
submission of the request to the court and to criminal prosecution
indicating the destination, the reason for traveling and the expected
date of return. Such traveling will be considered as lawful if only such
request was accepted by competent authorities. It is worth to mention
that although the request was accepted, the period outside the country
shall not be calculated as part of serving the sentence under electronic
monitoring. The same law gives the concerned court the right to amend the
location, timing and apply some restrictions on electronic monitoring.
Such amendments could be done based on the decision of a prosecution or
the request of a criminal. The court has the right to cancel the
electronic monitoring if there is a medical report indicating that it
could affect the criminals' health or safety, or if the court found
after ordering the sentence that the criminal had final jail term from
any other court and that was not indicated within the trial procedures,
or if the court found it impossible to execute for any reason or even if
the criminal requested for the same and the court found that such
request worth to be accepted. The decision in this case shall be final
and not subject to any kind of right to be objected. The electronic monitoring within the criminal investigation could be
cancelled if the criminal committed another intended crime or awarded
jail sentence in any other crime, or if the competent authority found
through the check process that he did not respect or obey the
instructions of the court or prosecution. And the decision in these
cases could be objected through grievance, which has to be raised within
the period defined in law. If in the middle of serving the electronic monitoring the court ever
decided to cancel the procedures and replace them with jail sentence,
the period which the criminal spent already under the electronic
monitoring has to be excluded from the total jail term period. What is the position of a criminal already serving a jail sentence of the previous judgments. Can they benefit from the new law? As per article 380 of the Law 17 of 2018, any criminal who has been
sentenced to remain in jail between 2 to 5 years and served half of that
period, has the right to request from the prosecution to replace the
rest of the sentence with similar period under electronic monitoring.
However, such request is not obligatory for the prosecution to accept
and it remains at their sole discretion. A prosecutor has the right to
check the criminal's behaviour and history while he was serving his jail
sentence and if he is not a risk for national security. The prosecutor
will submit such report to the court which will order jail sentence
taking into account the report. If the court found or believed that the
criminal will not commit the same crime again, they have a discretionary
power to accept the prosecution's report and to release the criminal.
Such decision by the court could be final and cannot be objected.
However, if it was dismissed, the criminal has the right to submit
another request after 6 months. If the court decided to replace the rest of the jail sentence with
electronic monitoring, the prosecution would be the authority to
supervise the execution of such decision. The criminal and prosecution
will remain having the right to request the amendment of the restriction
on a place and timing of the monitoring. And again, the decision could
be cancelled if the court found that it affects the criminal's health
and safety, or the criminal requested to cancel it and return him back
to jail, or it is impossible to execute, or he committed the intended
crime, or the competent authority found that he does not respect or obey
the restrictions ordered. If it was cancelled, the criminal has to
serve the rest of the sentence in jail. Any cancellation will be final
and will not be a subject to any appeal.
