Wisconsin’s lifetime GPS monitoring challenged

NARSOL recently released copies of two expert reports filed last week in Antrim v. Carr, 19-cv-396 (Eastern District of Wisconsin).
According to NARSOL, “The case challenges Wisconsin’s statutory scheme requiring that certain individuals convicted of sexual offenses be forced to wear a GPS monitoring device for life, even after they are off of any criminal supervision.”

That is just flat wrong. Just like the lifetime registration for one-time offenders. Repeat offenders and predators need to be on lifetime registration.
Wisconsin has to be very vigilant. Ex-attorney general, Brad Schimel, advocating lifetime registry for two convictions under one hearing (OAG-02-17), is now considering running for Wisconsin Supreme Court. The Wisconsin Supreme Court decided against Schimel’s opinion in decision 41-2023, but by that time, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections had already reached back and put over a thousand unsuspecting citizens on lifetime registry.
