RALEIGH (AP) -- A Wake Superior Court judge has ruled that four North Carolina sex offenders shouldn't be subject to lifetime monitoring.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that the monitoring devices were removed after Judge Ripley Rand's ruling Thursday.
The decision was the latest rejection of the state's attempts to track sex offenders who have finished their sentences. Many are contesting the tracking, under which more than 100 people are monitored statewide.
Attorneys opposing the monitoring have argued that the system violated constitutional rights and was beset by technical problems.
Corrections officials say the department spends almost $3,000 a year to track one offender.

release
I bet if it was the Judge or one of his family members. The person would never be released.
Sex Offenders
I feel that we should consider each case by its merits. I also feel that there are two separate offences to be considered.
Molestation is preformed by is a parent, teacher, or acquaintance when a child under 18 years of age is molested.
If it is a parent, teacher, or acquaintance that is the molester, place them in jail for no less than ten years for each occurrence, and they should be permanently marked in a place of full sight at all times (the back of both hands). The reason for the marking is, if they would do this to a person they know and that trusted them, how can we society ever trust them again.
Rape must and can only be rape if there is no consent given by the person being raped.
If it is a brutal, aggravated, or grievous rape the rapist should be placed in jail in general population for no less than twenty years for each rape.
If the rape victim is murdered the punishment should be death by public hanging in the County of the person that was raped and murdered.
All cases where the offender is under the age of 16 years of age should be handled as presently, under the juvenile laws.
NC Sex Offenders
Too bad we cannot apply the death sentence to every last one. That has to be cheaper :)
They shouldn't be tracked
They should be in prison for a lonnnnng time.
Second offense after release? Execution. Plain and very simple. If they pose a danger to society, they need to be PERMANENTLY removed from society. (Note 1)
Note 1: Applies to repeat offenders for any violent felony or felony with the potential for violence. Armed robbers, burglars, rapists.....we should have long lines leading up to the Guillotine. We'd all be safer and the state would save billions of dollars.
