GPS Monitors Give Police Key Evidence in Sex Offense Case

June 9, 2014 by Daniel Greenberg Leave a Comment

Today, law enforcement has an ever-increasing number of tools at their disposal to track, find, and build a criminal case against potential suspects. These tools also help to provide key evidence in many cases.

This was what happened in a recent case against two registered sex offenders in Southern California, according to a recent CNN report.

The two men, Steven Dean Gordon, 45, and Franc Cano, 27, had been convicted of sex crimes involving children. Gordon was convicted in 1992 and Cano in 2007. As registered sex offenders, the men were required to check in with police every 30 days and wear GPS ankle bracelets.

It was these GPS ankle bracelets that police say connected them to the rape and murder of four women.Read More

Leaving kids in the car is dangerous! There’s no doubt about that. On a hot summer’s day, temperatures in a car can quickly rise to over 100 degrees, which leaves kids at risk for heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses. These illnesses can even result in death.

Law enforcement and prosecutors are tough on parents they believe have left their children in the car. Serious charges can result.

This was the case for Shanesha Taylor, who was charged with two counts of child abuse for leaving her kids in the car.Read More

Child pornography charges are extremely serious. The maximum sentence for possession or distribution of child pornography is five years in prison, and the accused also faces thousands of dollars in fines.

Child pornography laws typically target sexual predators who prey on children. However, with the way the laws are written, even consenting teens can be charged with child pornography-related charges for “sexting.”

As a result, a youthful mistake can ruin a teen’s life. A conviction for this type of charge often requires sex offender registration, which can affect where a person can live and work.Read More

Our justice system is far from perfect: mistakes happen with alarming frequency. And when they do, innocent people are sent to prison for crimes they didn’t commit.

In fact, this is one of the strongest arguments against the death penalty. Many people—from ordinary citizens to professors to legal professionals—are disturbed by the idea that the government might execute an innocent person.

This was almost the case for one man: Edward Lee Elmore.Read More
