| 1284290 | 2012-06-28 01:43:00 | Maybe neck bracelets that explode when they get into or outside a certain area - or near certain other people or if 2 bracelets came to close to each other (meaning crims could not associate with each other) - might be more effective. | Iantech (16386) | ||

Next time be in bed, then the shower, then watching TV etc . Bear in mind that the mooted system/device is meant to track the wearer's movements when away from their residence . They are not under home detention, they are under movement / location surveillance . Cheers Billy 8-{) See, there's where your theory falls down, Billy . There's damn few of these . If they were smart, they wouldn't have been caught in the first place :D <snip> Husbands GPS works indoors . He needs his GPS inside to help him access drive through ATMs? :lol: (See Monday Laughs for the week) |

| 1284293 | 2012-06-28 06:01:00 | Loss of signal through device shielding leaves no evidence as to the reason why, or the means employed. I'd be very surprised if these bracelets were interrogated 24-7 as that would require a lot of technology, so random dropouts of varying duration would be put down to local conditions. Remember that these units are intended to allow the wearer to go out and about, and would only raise an alert if the wearer was in a location commensurate with their offending profile. In WWII the Germans were slowly convinced that their electronic jamming transmissions against British radar and other tracking or navigational systems were totally ineffective by the simple expedient of the Brits continuing to transmit normally, whereupon the Germans finally decided it was pointless because quite obviously 'the enemy' had developed effective filtering or similar such countermeasures, so they just turned off their jammers. If the offender was always home and the gear apparently working normally when the Police called, despite the intermittent loss of signals, it would not be long before they stopped responding. The offender would then know their response pattern and could leave the site unmonitored during periods when he/she knew that a check up was unlikely. Certain types of offenders are nothing if not patient. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
