Nah.

They should be tracked by Predator drones.

WHS if you commit a crime and break the law and are not incarcerated then you should be tagged and tracked.

I just wonder if there are any GPS blind spots (or whatever they are called)? They would be great hiding spots for Criminals.

IMO it should not be compulsary. But for those who want the option rather than prison then fine.

Yes, they should be tracked by GPS & if they are outside after a curfew or within so many metres of where they shouldn't be the tag should tazer them until they go home again. In fact, there should just be more tazering.

What a great home secretary you'd make.

One could go a step further and pop a pinch of semtex or CL-20 in the tag, to explode if they stray outside after curfew etc.

Sounds like a plan it reminds me of a film call the Condemned, on there they had collars around their neck filled with explosives
