It’s another interesting use of GPS ankle bracelets. I don’t know the politics as to whether these people end up with rights to stay in the country, but if they have means of support that’s great. But if they are illegal immigrants awaiting cases that may go for years before the get to caught and I assume they can’t legally work, how are they supported.
With many examples of the anklets not being monitored very well and the consequences of that, chances are that before long we do end up going to putting chips into people’s bodies that include GPS and transmission capability. They would be less tamper-proof. I guess the main issue is power for comms.
