New areas of GPS usage
California state thinks that GPS is ready to enter a new market. Well, country comissioners have applied to be a part of a pilot program that would monitor all offenders who are released from jail after serving time for gang-related activities.
There is only one county in California that started implementing this project on its own. According to all the information provided, this program is an innovative attempt to solve the problem of all this gang violence, which is quite possible to do.
Last year, for example, California voters enacted the so called Jessica's Law. It forced all sex offenders to live more than 2,000 feet away from parks and schools. The law also requires that all felony sex offenders for the rest of their lives submit to GPS-based electronic monitoring system. Bracelets will stay on even after sentences are served and parole is over.
GPS systems has also found a home in prison systems across the country, so there no doubts that residents and officials are sure that GPS can make wonders.
