WTF. People like this, should be not outfitted with a passive GPS, but with a pair of handcufs, chained to the bottom of the Jail shower.

If a Level 3, registered sex offender does not have a specific place with an address to live, he/she should not be released from prison until they get one. If they can't get one, they should be forced reside in a state sponsored, monitored, halfway house until they can get one.

As for the issue of GPS monitors, they do not indicate what a person is doing, only where is (active monitoring), or was (passive monitoring) at any given time. Leaving a satellite in space to be responsible for the whereabouts and activities of sex offenders is not a good idea, at least not in and of itself. Nothing can replace real time observations and checkups on dangerous criminals allowed to roam our communities. A more successful system of checks and balances in successfully monitoring registered sex offenders, especially those most likely to reoffend, would be to combine GPS monitoring with a continuing level of old-school probation responsibilities physically involving both state authorities, and the offenders.

Currently, there are 8 homeless, Level 3 sex offenders registered in Clark County. Eight monsters on the loose. I pray the residents of Vancouver, Washington, including those in all of Clark county, will do something about this prelude to future tragedy before it strikes again. ]]>Mar 13th 2009 12:19PM
