"As of January, 13 states had laws requiring or allowing GPS tracking. Aside from Wisconsin, governors in at least six states (Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Virginia, Washington and Michigan) have signed such bills this year. New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch plans to do so soon. Similar bills are pending elsewhere. "It's the law you can't vote against," says Chapin. Several of the laws are named after Jessica Lunsford, a 9-year-old Florida girl who was kidnapped, raped and killed in February 2005. The man charged with killing her was a convicted sex offender who hadn't reported that he lived across the street from her family. After he fled, it took almost a month to find him. Even states without specific GPS laws, including Minnesota and Texas, are testing the technology and expanding its use."
