There’s a case in the 7th Circuit which was just argued the other day. It originated in Wisconsin. I believe it was posted here yesterday.

Any win for us is a blessing, no matter where it’s at.

Released offenders for any crime that is serious enough is a bad thing, but one does not deserve to be continually searched by people via a unit data stream. If they did, then maybe they shouldn’t be released to society. This is why individual assessments are needed to determine the reality of the matter, not the emotional fearful reaction most will exhibit.

Lobbyists will continue with the fear mongering while cashing in the checks provided by the GPS companies in Florida.

Nice win, nice post. Thank you for sharing

It’s true, but it makes a compelling argument to challenge in Florida. The monitoring for the entire length of their probation is ridiculous. I’m tired of seeing people get violated (due to the GPS) when they’re just trying to do the right thing.

The ruling gives courts discretion to limit, reduce, or eliminate GPS monitoring.

It calls for courts consider the defendant’s individualized assessment and places more of a burden on the state.

I don’t think it follows anyone’s definition of a “hollow victory.”
