Re: The Move to High-Tech Tracking of Inmates
Please remove my email address PAT.
While I like to reduce the costs of government functions, I think there are way too many holes in this idea for it to be implemented with dangerous criminals.
GPS tracking does not work within buildings. If the sensor cannot see the sky, it cannot give true tracking information.
Here's a simple scenario: A criminal enters a building, wraps tin foil (or other material that blocks the signals) around the sensor, exits the building, goes about their illegal business, returns to the same building, removes the block, and exits. To the GPS (and anyone receiving the tracking data), it has never left the building.
