Consider this, if society started tracking drug criminals to ensure their not selling in prohibited areas, how do we know they aren't just dealing out the back window? What happens in the home stay's in the home and GPS units won't be of value. Your also talking about added expenses, and if you think the criminals will pay, what happens when they can't get a job? It's already starting to happen. Who pays then...taxpayers, that's who. And if we send them all back to prison...again the taxpayers pay for it. Personally, its ludicrous how much propaganda is put out that mongers fear and hysteria to sell a product. Ridiculous. If your bottom lines down, sell a different product, don't promote something that is ineffective by preying upon people! That makes you all just as bad as the criminals your trying to track!

I have been wearing a GPS system now for two years, yet I am considered someone least likely to reoffend as determined by my tier assessment. The first system I wore for just over ninee months and had 56 technical violations recorded during that period with every one due to equipment failure. In MA, this system had a true cost of over $10,000 per person being monitored. The present system requires a six hour house arrest every evening. I cannot travel any further in distance in a day than what I can return within eighteen hours. For sex offenders, why are these not only required of tier three offenders while they are on paper?
