The whole thing is obvious bullshit. But in legalese, it could be bad.
If he was acquitted of the charges, and the lawyer never had the conditions of bail stricken from the record, then technically it is a breach. Again, even if it's bullshit.
How do you know you're 200 meters away from something if you're not actually there for it, but across the street doing something else.
For those out there using imperial measurements, 200 meters is about 650 feet.
Even if the conditions aren't moot because he was acquitted, there's still no mens rea as IIRC he was something like 150-175m (500-575 ft) away so clearly he was trying to abide by the conditions. Normal people can't easily eyeball 200m and the cops were ordered not to give him any leeway and arrest him on the spot- which the judge should have thrown out on that basis too because that's clearly politicized policing.
So there's 2 other reasons the judge should have thrown this case out.

Exactly. It should not have been allowed to get as far as it did in the courts.
It only has because feelings were hurt for the correct people.
