Open Rights Group note that “the Bill’s provisions offer limited procedural safeguards (for instance, reliance on “reasonable grounds” rather than rigorous independent judicial oversight). Such a low threshold can lead to overly broad applications of state power.”201 Migrant Help states that “the use of electronic monitoring is also actively discouraged by human rights experts for the “stigmatizing and negative psychological effects”, which are likely to be “disproportionate to the benefits of such monitoring”.202 They also note that “[p]eople in our Network who have experienced electronic monitoring said that it made them feel ‘inhuman’ and severely negatively impacted their mental health.”203
