Good morning Sergio,Chris and all. Sergio, you made a joke about the global positioning collar for your dog(or maybe it wasn't a joke),but it may not be that far away<vbg>. BIAC's technology and ownership of that technology,IMO can be used in a way that could significantly change the face of probation/court order/monitoring in general.
Think of the possibilities, pedofile/child abuse-the ability to track offenders within a few meters,anywhere on the globe,and be notified in seconds if that offender goes where they shouldn't,for instance a school zone.
Spousal abuse/restraining orders-the ability to track the offender if they go where they shouldn't,for instance the home of the protected.
Alzheimer's patients-ability to track and rescue( my grandmother's in the mid stages-she's fit as a horse at 88yo,but gets lost on here twice daily walks)
Hospitals-ability to monitor newborns/guard from abduction( a company is already providing this service,doesn't necessarily require GPS)
And the overall obvious benefits to the monitored individuals themselves(early release,more freedom,higher self-esteem, etc) and the relief of overcrowding in the existing detention system..Just some thoughts-I won't bog the thread down anymore<vbg>..DD
PS: it's funny,everytime I think of this company,I picture James T. Kirk in the episode of Star Trek,where he was a prisoner with a collar around his neck that would choke him when he got out of line.<g> |
