Having a dash cam would be a worthwhile investment for those on GPS trackers.

Time to get rid of these GPS devices.

Be careful, though. If you read the decision, it is not that the GPS was faulty that the appellate court reversed this. It was because that the evidence presented when the state was arguing the case was hearsay. The way I read the opinion, had the probation department gone through the trouble of presenting the actual data from 3M in the initial hearing instead of just reporting on it, this would have gone the other way.

That said, be sure to follow the advice of ye olde twitter_cdcdurden and fac-admin. cya.

In reply to twitter_cdcdurden. A valid point! Also, to the best of your ability, cover your butt. If you go someplace, make sure you find a way to document it. Keep receipts from stores, tell friends or family to record time and place in a separate log, take pictures, etc.

Always confirm that the GPS monitors have been calibrated and , just as importantly,that the person who did the calibration is authorized to do so
