How can you find out why someone had an ankle monitor

[IcyPenguin101]

Someone staying with a neighbour has an electronic monitor on their ankle. I assume someone would only have an ankle monitor if they have gotten out of prison and that is their place of record of probation purposes. I’m not friendly enough with the neighbour to ask straight out who is the person but I assume a family member. I’m basically wondering if I have to be concerned. I’m assuming they’d only permit ankle monitoring for something low level?

Most Court proceedings will be published .. if you know the name, you should be able to find something

If you know their name you can check the court lists.

That very much seems like none of your bloody business.

You lose your right to privacy and anonymity when you start committing crime.

Is it a male or female OP?

Not sure why so many people are telling you to mind your own business, if I had a criminal living next door to me I would definitely want to know what they had done.

Absolutely! They should be shamed.

What a waste of time and energy. Might also get you beaten up.

I see, as a law abiding citizen you have a right to know if someone isn’t..seriously get over yourself

So we should all cower to the criminals in case we get beaten up? 😆

I will get over myself if you learn to read….nowhere have I said I have a right to know.

No you literally don't.

I actually don’t think you do have a right. They have a right to privacy.

What was the point of the post then?

I think it's all part of the same principle. If you've committed a crime you've no real right to privacy about it.

If you read the OP and my second post, you’d know. 🙄Again, reading seems to be an issue…

A tag can be many things these days, bail tags without conviction, court ordered at community sentence or on release from custody. They can be curfews, exclusion zones, DApol tags, buddi tags for sex offenders, EMAC tags for burglars and robbers, alcohol monitoring or abstinence tags for those with alcohol issues linked to offending and others. So you'll never guess and it's not your business to know.

If I was curious/worried/had kids I would look up the surname of your neighbour, often easy to find online using the address if you don’t know it, then look for court proceedings in the area using that name.

You’re just nosey 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I know of someone who had a tag because he had been convicted of stalking his ex-girlfriend.

You might be able to find out through the local magistrates’ court or county court listings, but you’d need to know their name.
They might be waiting to be sentenced, they could have a curfew, or be excluded from entering certain areas.

If she is there most of the time, then it’s likely that she has that place as her recorded address, so yes likely a family member.

The people who do the tags can only go to certain addresses which have been deemed suitable from the courts/prison.

There are usually gps tags or alcohol tags.

It may be that he/she got out of prison recently or they got the tag instead of a prison sentence.

To get a tag they must be deemed low risk.

If they don’t follow the rules then they will have to serve their sentence in an actual prison.

Yanbu
I would want to know for security reasons.

Well for the sake of being able to throw an orange at them, id suggest the risk outweighs the benefit.

And…….that’s not quite true either
