Police tracking sex offenders with GPS
Police in North Carolina are getting help tracking sex offenders. A law passed last year created a GPS program so officers will know exactly where the sex offenders are, all the time.

Police Tracking In Realtime
This seems like a great way to keep a tight reign on these criminal deviants. But I have a question on this matter... If the cops are "watching" the movements of the sex offenders, especially the ones that are let out earlier than they are suppose to be, would the cops then be accessories to a crime that is then committed while the cops know "EXACTLY" were the perps are?
This seems like an "after the fact' solution to a problem, that cannot solve anything.
These measures are going to be used to prosecute a sex offender that spends too much time near a pre-school or something? I'd rather spend the money that a system like this would cost to build jails and hire officers to protect the community. Why is it so easy for the government to throw our money at problems and not even do it in an effective way?
Useful Tool
Not to be misunderstood as a form of law enforcement, these devices are used as tools to get further information about an offender's activities (or current position).
Knowledge is power, and in these situations-justice.
