Police tag/bracelet

[deepseadiver]

Would anyone know how to safely remove one of these so that it can be refitted without plod knowing?We were having a pub debate yesterday and i was under the impression it worked on a GPS tracker system.My pal said its linked to your pulse so they know when its taken off.Ive also read that hundreds of transgressors can take them off willy nilly.

You can't safely remove one and refit it without the plod knowing. That is the whole point of them!! Every criminal that wore one would be doing it otherwise. I know people who have removed theirs but they have broken the tag in order to get it off and have ended up back in prison for damaging and removing it.

As for how they work, see this:

How does it work?
Electronic monitoring works by way of a transmitter and monitoring unit installed in a subject's home. The transmitter is a tag securely fitted to the subject's ankle and the monitoring unit is connected to a telephone line. The subject is then monitored to ensure they adhere to the restrictions of their particular curfew order.

You could always chop your foot off...pub debate, yea right, you just want to know how to get your own tag off I'll bet. Can't do the time,etc.etc.

[ACtheTROLL]

try a hacksaw.
or whatever implement you were using when you got the tag

(perhaps it should be called a toe-rag instead)

seriously ... why would anyone want to help you get back on the streets?
