I’m confused. What is the connection between using a VPN and witness tampering? Anyone care to explain?
They're both violations of the conditions of release. Two separate violations, unrelated except for being prohibited behavior.
is VPN prohibition a general condition of these situations or was this specific to this case? And can you clarify why using VPN violations? Sorry I’m daft on the legalities of this.
It would be a general bypass of monitored internet connectivity. One of his conditions was monitored internet access. VPNs are almost always encrypted, which bypasses said monitoring.
