When a person is arrested under this section he must be taken before a judge advocate as soon as practicable for his case to be reviewed.
240.The CO may only order the arrest of the accused if he has reasonable grounds for believing that the accused will do one or more of the things specified or that he has failed to attend a court hearing or there are reasonable grounds for believing that he has or will fail to comply with one of the conditions of his release.
