Residential surveillance is a relatively light criminal coercive measure. Residential surveillance involves activities within a designated range. So does residential surveillance mean the case is serious? Many people have questions about this. Let’s take a look at it with the editor of Yingting Law Firm.

Does residential surveillance indicate the seriousness of the case?
It depends on the circumstances of the case The place under residential surveillance is the "residence" or "residence", and the person under residential surveillance is not completely restricted in personal freedom. For criminal suspects and defendants who have fixed residences, the place under residential surveillance is the designated "residence". We believe that the so-called "residence" is the continuous and fixed place of the criminal suspect or defendant. The place of residence and living "residence" refers to the place designated by the people's court, the people's procuratorate or the public security agency for criminal suspects and defendants who have no fixed residence when they adopt residential surveillance measures. The administrative detention center is the place where administrative detention punishment is carried out. Administrative detention is an administrative punishment measure that completely restricts personal freedom.

According to the law, residential surveillance is a temporary coercive measure against criminal suspects during criminal proceedings.

The maximum period shall not exceed six months. During the period of residential surveillance, the investigation, prosecution and trial of the case shall not be interrupted. If there is indeed a crime that requires criminal liability, criminal liability shall still be pursued.

Otherwise, if the circumstances are serious, he may be arrested; if arrest is required.
