Program Uses GPS To Track Sex Offenders

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday January 12, 2011 @05:52AM from the where-do-you-think-you're-going dept.

43 sex offenders in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County are wearing GPS monitoring devices as part of a pilot program designed to keep track of their movements. If the offender moves into an "exclusion zone," police are called. “Exclusion zones for example [are] schools, daycares, playgrounds, facilities where children congregate for those sex offenders,” John Hudson, a security consultant, said. “We’ve identified in their red zones. If an offender with a device goes into one of the red zones, an exclusion zone, we’ll be notified immediately.”

“Exclusion zones for example [are ..] facilities where children congregate for those sex offenders"
How about just closing down the centers for the molesters full of children? Wouldn't that be easier than GPS tracking?
Who thought facilities to supply sex offenders with victims was a good idea in the first place?
