Have you ever had your cell phone battery die at an inopportune time?

Let’s say you were out in meetings all day, need to be home for dinner or your wife will give you a hard time, you race home staring at the one percent battery indicator when all of a sudden… black screen.

For most Americans, this has happened. For many who work outside an office or rely on public transportation without a car charger, this happens pretty regularly.

Can you imagine getting arrested every time your cell phone died? That’s what registered citizens on GPS monitoring face every day.

For a homeless registrant, finding access to an outlet is difficult when you are designated to live in the woods or under a bridge somewhere. Since most registrants work manual labor jobs, like construction or landscaping, finding the opportunity to charge a GPS during the day is also challenging.

Below is “NEWS” from lake county. A homeless registrant was arrested and held WITHOUT BOND because the battery on his GPS ran out. He was arrested the same day as the battery died and had committed no new crimes that day (or the story would have certainly mentioned it). Now he has to sit in Jail for a few months until his case is disposed of, because he ran out of battery.

Imagine if this is what you faced every time your cell phone battery died!

 

[SIDE NOTE:  When you are watching this, notice how the reporter says “they give you one charger to use in your car and another to charge up in places like libraries”.  Is he joking?!? If registrants can’t get jobs or housing, what’s the likelihood they will have a car? Also, they are not allowed in Libraries! I don’t know whether the reporter said that out of arrogance or ignorance, but he’s certainly misinforming the public and someone should correct him]
