Tracking Sex Offenders via GPS for Life
ecmcn writes "According to Yahoo! news, the governor of Florida just passed a bill that, along with increasing the jail time served for convicted sex offenders, requires them to be tracked for life via GPS. No technical details about the tracking, but it mentions "warning authorities when a sex offender is someplace he shouldn't be". Maybe they can get Google maps to add red zones around all of the restricted areas."

Why don't they just give them all t-shirts they have to wear instead?
In 10 years its going to be there anyways, lets save the taxpayers some $$$ and cut to the chase.

Too bad that any police department using AOL for e-mail won't get the alerts anyway...

In any case, they may be passing your idea as a law in Cali.
So, thank you for your mindless idiotic jab at the President, but some of us here actually voted for him.
That's alright, nobody's perfect.

When I was 16, I would of killed to have my face all over school saying I just scored. Unless the chick was ugly.
Hmm.....every action you take has a 'price'...but, really, where do YOU go to get laid on a regular basis? I find it is the best place to find good looking women, who you can sleep with...after all, that is a guy's purpose in life eh?

Depending on the state, the age of consent is anywhere from 14 (WTF?) to 18.

It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
I bet you statistically, 95% to 99% of sex offenders are male. On a side note, I would love to be molested by a female sex offender.
Michael jackson has something to say about being born black and dying white...
There is no greater threat to our nation than women acting like they are not the property of their Fathers, Husbands, and Fiances. In order to preserve our Christian values we must ammend the constitution to require all brides to wear a GPS unit for life!
