AI Assist
Summary
When an Executive Magistrate receives information that a person is likely to breach the peace, disturb public tranquillity, or do a wrongful act that may cause such disturbance, the Magistrate can require that person to show cause why they should not be ordered to execute a bond or bail bond to keep the peace. The bond may be for a period up to one year. Proceedings may be taken before any Executive Magistrate whose local jurisdiction covers the place of danger or where the person is found.
Example
Rohan repeatedly threatens neighbours at his apartment complex and locals complain that he may start fights. The Executive Magistrate can require Rohan to appear and show cause why he should not be ordered to execute a bond or bail bond to keep the peace, for a period up to one year.
