Non-association conditions (aka no contact orders) are almost automatically applied between codefendants in criminal cases in Canada. They seem to be increasingly being used in the US as well, since most of the Cop City defendants have them.
One consequence of them is that it criminalizes the kind of collective defence that worked so well for the J20 defendants. It leaves defendants with two options:
One is to essentially delegate control over their political defence to supporters who can be in touch with everyone. The second is to make the necessary preparations to breach the conditions and not get caught.
