WI: Lawsuit challenges lifetime GPS
Following the success of a similar suit in Georgia, lawyers have filed a lawsuit challenging the practice of putting persons required to register as sex offenders on GPS monitors for life – even when they are no longer on probation.
The lawsuit (a copy of which can be read here: https://madison365.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/GPS-Lawsuit.pdf) was filed by attorneys Mark Weinberg and Adele Nicholas, who are no strangers to defending the constitutional rights of ALL people, including those required to register.

The state has no warrant or no valid exception to the warrant requirement.that equals violation of your 4th and rights,it’s as simple as that.nothing in law says your rights are diminished as a sex offender.plus the scotus ruling was this was a trespass,so privacy shouldn’t even be considered when ruled a trespass see Jones vs us
Once this was ruled as a search,it’s been game over for the state.first,you can not add a sbm program to a 4th amendment search,not can u intertwine the two,simply put the sbm monitering program rules and felonies can not be enforced now under the banner of a search.game over for the state,even if found search is reasonable they can hold the felonies over ur head
Would like to know the progress of Wisconsin gps lifetime monitoring lawsuit
Just recently off or parole/probation in Wisconsin and have no clue as to what I can and can not do
Also having continued issues with the ankle monitor
Is there a lawsuit against the GPS monitor company?
Ant information I can get would be great
Georgia seems to be moving in the right direction. Florida……not!
I am a registered Sex Offender from WI State and I completed my Prison Sentence, and discharged in 2016 and no longer being supervised by D.O.C. but forced to ware the GPS tracking device based on statue 301.48 placed upon my case file ex Post Facto Retroactively! Violation of my Due Process, 4th,8th,and 14th Amendment, including Cruel and Unusual Punishment!! I have since moved out of WI,and now reside in Florida State under a jurisdiction law I was arrested for Failure To Register and after being confined to a 4 month term released to community control aka house arrest and being GPS’D monitored for a period of 12 months..have 9 months left! This is unfair treatment, I am seeking justice for Wrongfully Violating my Constitutional Rights By Wisconsin D.O.C.
Excellent brief. I hope lawyers here in Michigan raise a challenge to its lifetime electronic monitoring law. I wore one on my ankle for 2 years and 3 days while on parole. Malfunctions were frequent. Couldn’t shop at Walmart because it would lose signal. It would sound off when I went to the basement to do laundry. Got many phone calls at 3 or 4 in the morning because it lost signal. Would have to get dressed and go stand outside until it regained signal, no matter what the weather was. Malfunctioned once while taking a shower. They put out an arrest warrant for me that time. Luckily I was able to get hold of my parole agent, and he brought a new unit to my house, and cancelled the arrest warrant. Some days the battery charge wouldn’t last as long as it was supposed to, so had to carry my charger with me just in case. Wore baggy pants to try to hide it, but it would vibrate louder than a cell phone when an alert sounded. Usually happened on the city bus, so I had plenty of stares. Putting people on something like that for a lifetime is just too harsh. Ineffective too. I know guys who lost their jobs when their employers spotted those. Keep praying for success in these lawsuits.
YEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
