What are the requirements of GPS monitoring while on parole or probation?

In North Dakota, individuals on parole or probation may be subject to GPS monitoring. This type of monitoring requires the individual to wear a specialized bracelet or ankle monitor that tracks their location and movements. These devices are used to ensure that the person is abiding by the terms of their parole or probation. Generally, GPS monitoring is used to prevent individuals on parole or probation from engaging in criminal activities or going to prohibited places. This type of monitoring may also be used to confirm an individual’s whereabouts in relation to specific court-imposed conditions. For GPS monitoring to be effective, the individual must comply with the following requirements. First, they must wear the monitoring device 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They must also keep the device charged and notify the parole or probation officer if the device is not working correctly. Additionally, the device must be within range of a GPS satellite in order to effectively track the individual’s location. The individual must also follow the requirements imposed by the parole or probation officer regarding where they may and may not go, and they must report any changes in their address to the officer immediately. Further, the individual must avoid tampering with the device or intentionally attempting to interfere with its operation. Violation of any of these requirements can result in serious legal consequences.
