Federal Lawsuit Against State DOC Alleges Due Process, Civil Rights Violations in Lifetime GPS Monitoring | Madison365
Federal Lawsuit Against State DOC Alleges Due Process, Civil Rights Violations in Lifetime GPS Monitoring | Madison365: A Chicago law firm has filed a federal class action lawsuit against the Wisconsin Department of Corrections alleging civil rights violations concerning the use of GPS monitoring for sex offenders — many of whom have completed their sentences and are not on any form of probation, parole or supervised release — and seeks an injunction to stop the state’s lifetime GPS monitoring program.

I am one of the individuals affected by Wisconsin state statute 31.48. I was convicted of two charges in 1998 stemming from the same incident in Texas. I completed my sentence in 2006 and was only required to register. I moved from Texas to Wisconsin March 2018. In October 2018 I received a letter advising me I would be forced to wear a GPS tracker for life. Despite the unconstitutionality of Statute 301.48 it clearly states a level 1 or level 2 sex offense does not include when the child is related to the actor. The child in my case was my daughter. It's going on 5 years since I have been wearing the ankle monitor. I need help finding an attorney to represent me. kendmaples@gmail.com
