Full text
89.1. An arrested person who is required to appear with a view to being released from custody may do so in person or consent to doing so using a technological means considered appropriate and authorized by the judge.
However, in the latter case, the consent of the prosecutor and the arrested person is required where witnesses must testify at the appearance and where the arrested person is unable to appear using a technological means that allows him and the judge to view one another and to communicate at the same time.
The appearance using a technological means must allow the defendant, if represented by a lawyer, to communicate privately with his lawyer.
