The Future of Lawn Enforcement is Ankle Monitors?
posted (February 11, 2019)
Imagine a Belize where repeat offenders have to wear those tracking devices, or ankle monitors…the news tonight is that it could happen.

A government release says that "the Minister of National Security today established an exploratory committee to examine the feasibility of a repeat gun offence law."

This law would make it so that repeat gun offenders and convicted gang members would have to wear a tracking device when they are released from prison.

The release notes that a similar pilot project has been launched for knife crime offenders in England.

The committee is comprised of only three members: Carlos Namis, who is an IT Specialist; Dr. Ajay Hotchandani, who is a Consultant; and Nicole Haylock, a Citizen Security Expert.
