A: It depends on the jurisdiction, but generally your lawyer would need to file a motion to modify your bond conditions to remove the HD/GPS requirement. If you are eligible for a diversion program like PTI and you want to go that route, your lawyer might be able to get the Solicitor's office to consent to removing the ankle monitor while you participate in the program. Otherwise, the requirement stays while your charge is pending.
