But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. -Declaration of Independence of the United States of America
It is reassuring to hear other people sticking up for those in my situation. I am on lifetime GPS even though I have never been accused or charged with any contact type sexual offense. Nor do I have any history of violence! What bothers me so much about GPS is the way it was deemed to be a "good fit" for me. It wasn't till about 6 months before my release date that I was even aware that I would be required to wear it! All because some unidentified person in a shadowy office in Madison thought I should be sentenced to life. Why do these people have the power to subject me/us to life without regard to our rights to due process? At the release I had 4.5 years of extended supervision and according to my prison social worker I am a 15 year registrant, so why the life time GPS?
