Precautionary measures are applied to prevent the accused from committing a crime, to escape, to obstruct the enforcement of an enforced sentence. A measure of restraint is determined when a reasonable assumption is made from the evidence in the case that the accused has committed the crime. The evidence against the accused, his state of health, marital status, profession, age, degree of crime, etc., should be considered when determining remand measures. There are several types of remand measures and they are: subscription, bail, house arrest, detention. The subscription is the easiest measure and the accused person is not entitled to leave his / her place of residence without the permission of the respective authority. The guarantee obliges the defendant to provide a certain amount of money. It serves to secure the appearance of the accused before the court or before the pre-trial authorities. The accused has the opportunity to appeal against a guarantee that was taken by the pre-trial authorities. Under house arrest, the accused has no right to leave his home without the permission of the relevant authority. Detention in custody is defined when the accused has committed a crime punishable by imprisonment or a more serious sentence and there is a real danger of the person accused of absconding or committing a crime. Failure by the accused to fulfill his / her obligations related to the restraining order will have consequences for him / her. For example, if he did not appear before the appropriate authority without a valid reason or change his place of residence again without informing him, a measure of restraint would be taken or the measure would be replaced by a more severe one. If the remedy is a guarantee and he breaks it, the money will be for the benefit of the state. Sometimes a larger guarantee is even set.
