This is one of the votes I've been wondering about. On the surface it sounds like a good idea, after all - it IS for the children, right? On the other hand (a thumb and four fingers) - is this really going to prevent a relapse by the criminal, or make children safer. I kinda like the GPS idea, but are we setting a dangerous precedent?
The estimated cost of implementing this law, as stated on the ballot, is up to several hundred million dollars. That probably in real terms, means one billion dollars.
Personally, I feel that we have more than enough laws to last us through the 21st century, and unless a new law can be shown to be truly needed and beneficial, it should not be passed.
While I'm all in favor of protecting children from sexual predators, I don't get the sense that this proposition has the correct answers.
I'd appreciate your considered thoughts on this law.

Not only that, but it is building the infrastructure for total tyranny.

Keep them in prison.
