Butler County, Ohio wants GPS implants in ex-cons

Remind us not to move to Butler County in Ohio. The County Commissioner there is proposing that anyone on parole or probation be required to have GPS monitoring chips implanted so their movements can be tracked remotely, this despite the fact that sub-dermal GPS chips don't exist (he's probably thinking of RFID chips). Not to be outdone, apparently the county sheriff would like to take things up a notch even beyond that, saying, "I would support the type of electronic monitoring that delivers an electrical shock to an offender if he or she is doing something in violation of probation."
