> non-violent, first-time offenders

Non-violent, first-time offenders don't get ankle monitors. But thank you for highlighting my point.

They absolutely can, depending on the jurisdiction. I saw plenty of cases out of Atlanta with drug possession cases with no prior history getting an ankle monitor, back when they were live streaming bond hearings from Rice street.

  • You do not get an ankle monitor for misdemeanour possession as a first time offender, in Atlanta or anywhere else.

    Like, actual lol mate.
