The only problem with the higher courts is that when they rule in favor of RSO’s none of the lower courts or politicians pay any attention to them or they drag their feet as long as they can…an ordinance is unconstitutional in one county/state and in the next door county/state a similar ordinance is still enforced awaiting for as long as politicians can to have the court come down on ‘them’. We see it all the time around the country.

I am so sorry for your situation.

My son wore one for dating a minor, she was17. He was 22. The PO kicked him out of our home, we paid over $6k on hotels cuz she wouldnt let him stay in most cities, Im still paying this Visa bill. Point is, not a punishment??? His ankle was RAW and constantly bleeding from the ‘braclet’. These judges and PO officers should have to wear one for a week.

He was homeless in hotels for 2 months until some kind person took a “chance on him” as a roommate in his apartment. Still they left that bracelet on him until the PO thought ‘he was settled in’. It was on for 3 months!

I cannot imagine having to wear that for life, very very unfair.

Agree 100% thank you.

Now its too late, The decision is unfortunately already made. Stupid politics with a ‘hot potato’ issue that politicians don’t want to touch because they want to be the relected.

What can we do???

You are strong and I commend you for shat you have fndured and gotten through. That is our cause, the ‘one size fits all’ mentality. If you were going to a doctor for medicine they wouldn’t just throw a medicine at every single person but they would dispense the medicine according to whatever the person needed. The law should function the same way I If you were going to a doctor for medicine they wouldn’t just throw a medicine at every single person but they would dispense the medicine according to whatever the person needed.

I just don’t know where to start on it it’s such a huge issue but I wish I could make a change don’t know where to start on it it’s such a huge issue but I wish I could make a change.

You are right on, Bruce. Politics! That’s why people have to pursue their appeals all the way to the federal level. Federal judges are appointed for life. They don’t have to worry about the next election.

Bruce,

Thanks for your input. But I think you miss a salient fact: federal judges, including Supreme Court Justices, are appointed for LIFE. So, they are not susceptible to replacement by voters. Just as SCOTUS establishes binding decisions for lower court’s to follow, so do federal appellate court’s and federal district courts. So, when a higher court such as the Wisconsin Supreme Court establishes binding precendet, the lower state Court’s MUST follow those decisions. If crap flows down hill, just as it has from SCOTUS and now the Wisconsin Supreme Court, then we all suffer from that load of crap because we are all at the bottom. I’d love to live in a real where the highest court in the land is willing to admit it’s wrong, but in reality that’s just not what we have. I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade, but I don’t envision the higher courts changing their minds and in essence changing public policy.
