I would expect the passport thing (actually, it seems like it should be standard requirement for bail (or even released on own recognizance)), but why a gag orde\<. Even if convicted of a felony (I believe he was facing misdemeanors?), once the trial is done, what reason is there to shut him up? Heck, let him yap, encourage it even - the prosecution could undoubtedly use it to show lack of remorse and push for the longest term available.
