It didn’t have gps tracking functionality enabled, authorities have said. I’m trying to understand why that would be the case, why even bother if it doesn’t immediately alert the authorities.

Yeah, then what’s the point of the monitor? Was it a fake monitor for low-risk offenders? I need to know more about this.

Yeah I have the same questions. Unfortunately they haven’t disclosed why it didn’t have the gps functionality so we can only speculate.

My guess is that the art fraud (for which he was wearing the monitor in the first place) was a non-violent offense.

Who would be doing that monitoring? The local department? State Police? FBI? Sounds like whoever was in charge of it didn’t care.
