When the investigating chamber or a trial court hands down a judgment or ruling declaring a person not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder, it may order the following security measures against the person, for a period that it shall determine and that may not exceed ten years in criminal cases and twenty years if the acts committed constitute a felony or misdemeanour punishable by ten years’ imprisonment:
1° Prohibition on entering into relations with the victim of the offence or certain persons or categories of persons, and in particular minors, specially designated;
2° Prohibition on appearing in any place specially designated;
3° Prohibition on holding or carrying a weapon;
4° Prohibition on carrying out a specially designated professional or voluntary activity, in the exercise of which or on the occasion of which the offence was committed or involving habitual contact with minors, without first undergoing a psychiatric examination declaring the person fit to carry out this activity;
5° Suspension of driving licence;
6° Cancellation of driving licence with a ban on applying for a new licence.
These prohibitions, which can only be imposed after a psychiatric assessment, must not constitute an obstacle to the care that the person is likely to receive.
If the person is hospitalised pursuant to articles L. 3213-1 and L. 3213-7 of the Public Health Code, the prohibitions to which he or she is subject are applicable for the duration of the hospitalisation and continue after the hospitalisation is lifted, for the duration set by the decision.
