Electronic Monitoring Hack
- The Cook County Sheriff’s office is warning its officers to watch out for state parolees who have tampered with their electronic monitoring.
The heading says: “Officer Safety Alert” – and it’s from the Cook County Sheriff’s Office to all patrol and street units – warning about state parolees on electronic monitoring who have tampered with the device and are driving around undetected.
But it isn't a "significant" issue:
- Tom Shaer, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Corrections, says state parolees interfering with their electronic monitoring is “not a major problem” and he says there’s been no recent uptick in incidents.
“We are not encountering a significant issue here.”
We don't know about that - any time someone "paroled" to electronic monitoring who is able to circumvent the restrictions supposedly placed on them through human ingenuity....well, that pretty much means they're getting away without being punished. That IS significant to any thinking person.
And how are they accomplishing this?
And how are they accomplishing this?
- But Shaer says the state has told the Cook County Sheriff’s office to watch out for any state parolees driving with a monitoring box plugged into their car – a device that should be at home.
So they've somehow adapted the monitor box to be able to be powered by the car cigarette lighter. The sheriff's automated calling system buzzes the box, the "inmate" scans whatever he has to scan into the box, the sheriff thinks that the "inmate," (actually an "out-mate" now) is at home behaving. No GPS in the boxes, so no one is the wiser...until they get caught outside after curfew.

They don't violate them for anything anyway. So who gives a shit any more? These convicts learn right away that all the threats are empty promises and that they won't be going back to prison.
Kind of like if you threaten a child with a spanking and never follow through. This state and city are finished. Thank the socialists for another failed policy.
It is a puzzlement>
A press release without Dart's name on it! Heads will roll!
Why can they just put an implant in them like mission impossible and if they move 100 ft from their living room it self distructs and bye bye scum bag!!!
This is crazy, As far as I know the monitoring box has to be plugged into a wireline home phone. Get more than so many feet from the box, it trips and calls IDOC, get some metal object blocking the signal, it trips, unplug it or have a power outage, it trips.
...and there was a guy swimmin at the Montrose riot with one of these on? WTF?
Fire up the wood chippers. It's our last, best hope.
Make sure it's not their PS3!
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
It's not a "significant issue" because Dart doesn't need any more bad press leading up to his run for mayor next year.
No GPS to monitor criminals..but brand new police radios in my district with GPS enabled to monitor my where-abouts while I'm working. They say it's for our safety..my ass!
You can buy a thing that plugs into your cigarette lighter and gives you an outlet like in your house. I've got one to charge my computer when traveling.
im sure the dumbputees will keep it in check
Never a mention of how many cook county sheriffs who are responsible for checking up on the monitored dudes are actually falsifying the records ??
All they need is a wireless internet connection, Magic Jack or Basic Talk ......rings the phone anywhere you want it to but shows up as your home....
Maybe go 21st century and incorporate GPS into the bands...
Where there a will there's a way.
The em boxes have a tamper when ever movement of the balance in the box .... So no, u can't just move the box and put it in a car
