Basically every major grocery store has delivery for a nominal fee these days, if you really had an emergency. When they are setting up the agreement they discuss what errands you need to run and set up a a few hours a day or two a week for that. Its really not that bad in most areas as long as you are proactive about letting them know.

I called the cops and when they got there I asked them to arrest me and why. the cop did. I didn't make my in time.

My brother and I have a close childhood friend that we're still friends with who was under house arrest as a teenager. The police allowed him to come to hang out at my parents' house because my mom treated him as her son and was strict with him, which his grandmother confirmed with the officer. He straightened his life out real fast and thanked his Mom(my and my brothers Mom) for taking him in and believing in him.

What most people do not know is that the monthly cost for an ankle monitor for set up and daily monitoring is as low as $150.00 and can go as high as $1,200.00, depending on which jurisdiction you are in. There is very little statutory limitations on fees. It can be expensive to stay out of lockup.

My brother was on house arrest. He had to move every few hours because it made it seem like it was off. Which meant waking up early in the morning to move around. There was an instance where the tracking messed up and he was accused of leaving the house at 2am. He was asleep. My room is across from the room he was staying in. (He was stuck at our house because he was visiting when he screwed up and got on house arrest.) I was awake at that time and he was snoring away. They got a GPS booster he had to pay for so it wouldn't happen again..

what did he do

[@animejanai4657]

@hiiiii-t6j You don't have to do all that much now because the city and county use house arrest as a huge cost savings measure. It costs my city $48K to $72K per year to jail someone. But if the criminal has house arrest, that huge cost is gone. AND the criminal pays their own health costs since they are at home not jail. And they pay their own food and utilities but in jail, all that stuff including A/C and heating are paid by the taxpayers.

You have to get permission from your PO before you can leave basically to do anything and if you have a job, you have to be there within a certain time limit, or they'll arrest you for breaking house arrest. As for the shower, I don't think they're water proof but also not sure.

House arrest usually has some constraints, such as the ability to work or attend school during predetermined hours. Also, if anything is truly necessary, you can request permission to leave the zone for a limited period of time to buy food, toilet paper, or deal with an emergency. However, this is determined by the seriousness of the crime. Also, if you have a drug conviction, the ankle monitor will detect alcohol and drug use through your sweat, so avoid doing so.

House arrest usually has some conditions such as being able to attend work or school within pre determined hours. Also if something is absolutely necessary you can get approval to leave the zone for a set period of time to get food, toilet paper or handle an emergency. This is based on the seriousness of the crime however. Also the ankle monitor if you had any form of drug conviction will monitor alcohol and drug consumption through your sweat, so don’t do that.

[@md-vq8sp]

Also it depends on the degree of emergency as well. Like if your house was on fire it would be ok if you broke house arrest without permission, if it was just a work issue it would be harder

[@micwclar]

Exactly, working is typically a requirement for being on house arrest. In the area I'm in, you have a set route from home to work and back. You schedule when you go to the store or Dr. Apps or anything else like treatment, religious services, etc. You're being monitored, not really confined. Heck, Life 360 does almost the same thing and it's a whole lot cheaper.

[@qualityvids7815]

​@@micwclar true for me no specific route to go to work just have one hour before and after work and have to have my schedule on me at all times in case I'm stopped

[@Jack-kx5rf]

Yeah here in the UK when you're on house arrest you're allowed to go and do whatever during the day. They only care that you're home between 7pm-7am. There is some flexibilty in that curfew on a case by case basis but it's always a 12 hour stretch they're required to be home and it's always overnight. Also in the UK tags don't monitor alcohol or drug use, instead they take some hair and urine samples. Weirdly if you test positive for drugs they don't care, but alcohol is a 1 way ticket back to prison.

[@zacharysnyder2520]

@@micwclar in my state a job or schooling is required and you have to set up a schedule with your PO or monitoring agency. For low level offenses you can contact whoever is monitoring you in order to make arrangements to go shopping see a doctor etc. I’ve never spoken to a higher risk individual dealing with this, mostly alcohol and drug violations so I don’t know if it gets more restrictive as the crime gets more severe but I assume so.

What's the point(legal), of house arrest anyway, it's like being in jail but with comfort and little luxury. Why wouldn't they just put them in jail?

[@davidharris3028]

It's normally used for crimes that are deemed very low to no threat at all. They use it because prisons have an overcrowding issue so those who aren't deemed a threat to anyone are put on house arrest and those who are a danger to those around them are put in prison.

YAY LAWBYMIKE VIDEO

[@SparkTheKirin]

I remember that guy who started doing TikTok live because his ankle monitor would suddenly detect itself twelve miles outside the zone and he'd have the station ringing him 10 times a day. He saw shady stuff coming, and sure enough they ended up sending him a bunch of fines/fees/etc for the ankle monitor and threatened to arrest him for 'attempting to leave the premises' The ankle monitor magically stopped going off when he emailed them a month and a half's worth of recordings of every single timestamped incident and told them he could find a lawyer who would love to watch every second.

bro you cannot be real..you must be a bot fr

[@itzArgona1ut]

Easy solution I've seen via the hidden wiki. While it all depends on the model of the ankle bracelet (different by state) Some have a microphone officers could use to directly communicate in case of a bracelet change. You wanna thin out a couple strands of aluminum, stuff the holes & every time they talk with you, it mimics the sound of static. You could shimmy it around here and there throughout interactions to give the impression of a faulty system. They'll either replace it or continue with the idea initially presented that your model isn't as functional. After a bit, you want to get up and move away from your designated area. But make it brief, this will make them think the system isn't working further. Do this in longer increments until you can safely walk a few blocks down your home with no worry. Thank me later

[@502outlaw2]

You notify your governing authority that you would like to do a grocery store trip. A written request that is generally approved. You'll be given a date and time to go, and a return home time. Just always be where you are supposed to be. You can also request to visit the homes of relatives and friends, even attending funerals. Submit your request as per the rules and you will generally be approved for your request. Provided you adhere to their rules. If you violate the rules you will eventually end up back in jail. Just be where you are supposed to be, when you are supposed to be there.

[@KhaosInductionCreator]

@@deantodd8103No everyone can have delivery though. DoorDash and other delivery services like that aren’t available in my area so if I were to ever be out with an AB I’d have to ask to do a shopping trip

[@lynethebat]

sometimes the house arrest has a set time where the perimeter extends to include a direct path to the grocery store and the grocery store itself. it may also do the same for your work, provided you get back on time.

[@JohnMackweb]

From what I’ve seen online, most of those ankle bracelets have two way audio on them, so the police can remotely ask you why you left your house before ever sending in cop cars to do it in person.

[@yerielurena1873]

Question: Does probation work the same way?

[@thelanktheist2626]

Probation usually allows you to do stuff under specific court guidelines, and you’re assigned an officer to keep you on track

[@nexdemise4182]

So probation is a bit different. There's basically two kinds: Supervised and unsupervised, both generally come with some sort of suspended sentence. Supervised is the one where you have to stick to whatever set of rules (check-ins, drug tests, sobriety programs, whatever else, you know it all depends what the offense was) and if you re-offend or violate the rules of the probation then you can be send to jail to serve off the sentence. Unsupervised is basically just you're free to go, don't reoffend because you will have to serve off the suspended sentence. Both have a term. Supervised might release you early if you behave. With unsupervised there's really nobody to release you from it.

From my understanding, certain leeway is given, at the court's discretion, for a certain distance from your domicile. As in they wont ding you for going to your next door neighbor to borrow a cup of sugar. It also allows for X number of possible discrepancies or GPS errors in the tracking. Seldom is it an immediate do not pass go thing to have a negligible amount or frequency of discrepancies.
