In R. v. B.N. (Ont CA, 2025) the Ontario Court of Appeal considers the limitations of GPS monitoring as a bail control measure:
[27] I take no comfort from the release plan. The Crown notes that GPS monitoring would be of little assistance in controlling the applicant. This court has recognized that GPS monitoring reveals where a person is, not what they are doing, and will be of little assistance in preventing non-compliance in the circumstances of this case: R. v. Stojanovski, 2020 ONCA 285, at para 24; J.J., 2020 ONCA 280, at para. 27.
