American police forces are increasingly using GPS tracking devices to capture thieves, drug dealers and other types of criminals. Recently an American newspaper featured an article explaining how a GPS tracking device helped police identify a suspect who had been grabbing women from behind and assaulting them. There had been eleven such attacks in six months.
The suspect had earlier been released from prison after serving 17 years for rape. Police decided to attach a GPS tracking device to the suspect’s vehicle which in turn allowed them to monitor his movements via computer software. One night they tracked the suspect and caught him at a location where a woman had been attacked. Upon his arrest the attacks stopped and he was charged and convicted.
Police commented on how using the GPS tracking device had saved them countless man hours and substantial amount of their yearly operating budget, to track the suspect in the usual way would have involved a police watching and trailing him 24 hours a day. Essentially the GPS tracking device has replaced and released officers who would have been part of the surveillance team tracking this suspect who would now be able to be assigned to other cases.
