Representative Tibbs is proposing bill to allow domestic abuse victims to monitor GPS location of their domestic abuse perp
Eg, if victim goes to Walmart, they can see on their computer/smartphone if their perp was within 1 mile/2 mile proximity.
The bill passed by committee.

How much privacy rights does a (convicted I hope) perp still have? is the peace of mind of the victim more important than the rights of the other person? I don't know where the boundary should be, but I hope some thought has gone into this...
BTW - this also seems like a plan that is impossible to implement safely, especially given the computer-saviness of governments and law enforcers...
I was wondering exactly the same thing. I was surprised that the issue of privacy wasn't brought up at all by the committee members and that the bill was passed without a great deal of questioning.
This was a committee meeting, and it will need to go into the House of Representatives for passing first before becoming law.
