That is completely loving insane and even more horrifically craven than I could have imagined. "Private corporation that profits off of depriving poor people of their freedom deliberately designs equipment to fail so that said poor person ends up in prison through no fault of their own" is some new horror I should've guessed but didn't because I forgot the people responsible for these decisions are not human beings and deserve no mercy or quarter.

Watch Facebook suppress active shooter notifications because Wendy's paid them $500,000 in ad buys for the restaurant getting shot up

It's probably some bizarre metric that will gently caress up and spit out a lot of false positives like if a bunch of people in the same area post about running or something like that

They had the choice to step up to the gold plus premium package, which included the ankle monitor with a back-up battery, and the opportunity to report to their PO through a smart phone app but were too cheap to pony up the $3000. It was their choice to commit the crime, and their choice to stick with the $1,000 basic probation package, it's their own fault. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD1JxL5QfzI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIghbrn5yfI Don't watch these, just don't.

Tubgoat posted:That is completely loving insane and even more horrifically craven than I could have imagined. it happens both that the poo poo breaks, but also that they gently caress up and don't charge it right. Usually it's assumed the "client" hosed it up so someone gets to call them and bitch them out until it becomes obvious it's the equipment also some people are allergic to the materials in some devices and will get terrifying rashes with basically no way around it also some people SHOULD NOT be on programs like this, stalkers and certain kinds of hosed up people need jail or active monitoring imo it's not that the equipment is designed to fail, it's that companies who outright own their equipment instead of leasing it do essentially zero maintenance or use old outdated garbage that had design faults in it (like you can't obviously tell if it's charging right, or is just a piece of poo poo). Also in some cases companies that lease will rely on the ability to send poo poo out like nothing instead of making sure good equipment came out the first time. Little more rare I think. Bernie is right people shouldn't have to pay for this poo poo SniperWoreConverse has issued a correction as of 15:47 on Aug 29, 2019 |

Platystemon posted:
what? There were videos posted up above about how there are loads of poor people getting thrown in jail and put on probation over stupid poo poo like traffic violations, parking tickets, even citations over not having matching blinds or not mowing your grass etc because if you can't afford to pay your fines by your court date, you end up in a debt spiral with for profit probation companies or the people charging $60 a week for house arrest.

Enfys posted:what? OP didn’t say he was convicted of just stupid poo poo. She said he wasn’t convicted at all. OP’s boyfriend explicitly “is not on probation”. He is, it seems, on house arrest. OP says “he gets off sep. 14”, so he’s not awaiting trial. That leaves a conviction. It may be a conviction for traffic tickets (and failure to appear in court in relation to the tickets), but that’s still a conviction. Either there is a misunderstanding about what a conviction is, or OP’s boyfriend is lying like a president.
