Two Michigan juvenile case workers recently resigned after GPS trackers revealed that the workers were not attending to their duties. Instead of monitoring juvenile parolee action, these case workers were napping, golfing, and working out while on the job. Tracking city workers has proven beneficial before, but this new case makes one wonder who is watching potentially dangerous individuals.

Many parolees are currently being tracked. There parolees have no chance of violating parole – unless those who are supposed to be watching the parolees aren’t doing their jobs. This was precisely the concern that the state of Michigan had. In order to find out what workers were really up to, the state installed GPS trackers inside of state vehicles.

After discovering that state workers were not monitoring juvenile parolees, the state is taking a second look at GPS technology. As it turns out, this technology is more useful than state official originally thought. Presumably, the state will now work on installing a number of GPS tracking units inside of state vehicles.
