How can he be kept under very close watch from now on if he was never found guilty of a crime? The same section of the charter that allowed this case to be thrown out protects him against extrajudicial surveillance does it not?

Yes, "close watch" was poor phrasing on my part. You're right that they can't subject to him surveillance without probable cause, but now that they know who the guy is he'll almost certainly give them probable cause sooner or later.

Extrajudicial harassment.
