Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding Wisconsin's requirement that sex offenders subject to civil commitment wear a GPS monitoring device 24/7 is not a punishment, reasoning \[t]he monitoring law is not punishment; it is prevention\ (citations omitted)
• finding a deterrent purpose in Wisconsin's sex offender GPS monitoring program, and citing study finding that GPS monitoring reduced recidivism by half
• mandatory imposition of GPS monitoring for probationer pursuant to statute reasonable where defendant was recidivist sex offender
• “It’s untrue that ‘the GPS device burdens liberty . . . by its continuous surveillance of the offender’s activities’; it just identifies locations; it doesn’t reveal what the wearer of the device is doing at any of the locations.” (alteration in original
