Assuming this man is guilty, and that this is not a false accusation, we again prove TRACKING does not PREVENT crimes, and the DOC even agrees. AT best GPS aides the prosecutor in prosecuting a crime. QUESTION: Given that simple logic, how is the public protected by the use of GPS? TRACKING does not provide the public with any safety as claimed by the politicians.4-22-2010 California:
FONTANA - A convicted sex offender wearing a state-issued GPS monitoring device allegedly molested an 11-year-old girl on Tuesday, police said.
Jason Olivas, 40, was arrested by Fontana police and booked into jail on suspicion of committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child.
Fontana police Sgt. Jeff Decker said the man was wearing the GPS device because he is a convicted sex offender.
"I don't know if we found him from the device or other leads," Decker said.
Police received a call about 5:30 p.m. from a resident who reported the Fontana girl had been molested.
The GPS device device keeps tabs on state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation sex offenders. While useful to law enforcement, GPS tracking has its limitations.
"It can't tell us what they're doing," department press secretary Gordon Hinkle said. "It can't predict crimes or prevent them from happening." ..Source.. Melissa Pinion-Whitt and Jannise Johnson, Staff Writers
