Loser Tag
I can think of several different ways to keep tabs on pedophiles...such as a hot branding iron to the forehead...but this is an interesting thought as well:
"UK company Sky Guardian said that it hopes to hold talks with the Irish government in October about introducing the system, which can be used to track the movements of child sex offenders using electronic tags and GPS (Global Positioning System) technology…
...The system, conceived by Sky Guardian, was developed by a US company called Sentinel. According to Sky Guardian managing director Clive Crosby, the technology for the tracking system combines satellite and GSM technology. A GPS device, attached to the ankle, connects wirelessly with a special mobile phone that the wearer must carry at all times. If the phone, which is linked to a call centre operated by trained paedophile experts, becomes separated from the tagging device, an alarm is triggered. Sky Guardian claims the system can pinpoint the location of the wearer to within three metres..."
In addition to tagging, can’t we force them to wear a shock collar? C’mon, it would be fun!
