This is why we have gun crime in the United States....here we have violent gun offenders let out of jail because they are put on ankle monitors.....and then they slip the ankle monitors and disappear....
Why the F**K are they out of prison in the first place? They are violent gun offenders, they need to be in jail, without bail, and held till trial, and then they need to serve their entire sentence...which should be 30 years.....
The Bracelet Cutters: 25 Violent Or Gun Offenders Are On The Loose From Electronic Monitoring In Cook County
More than 80 people have disappeared while on Cook County’s electronic monitoring program since last September.
2 Investigators have found a total of 25, or 29 percent of the missing, had been arrested for violent or gun offenses, a fact that concerns Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
“Electronic monitoring was never developed for violent offenders,” Dart says. “This is something that if it isn’t fixed soon is going to be a big problem.
The use of electronic monitoring, or house arrest, was typically limited to non-violent offenders. But that changed last year after Cook County Chief Judge Tim Evans’ mandate limiting the use of cash bonds.
Compared to a year ago, people on electronic monitoring who were charged with violent or weapons-related crimes have spiked. Case in point: Those charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon has jumped 158 percent, according to data from Dart’s office.
Ricky Larkin, 25, is not a gun offender, but he was among those who disappeared.
He was arrested last October for unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle. A week later he was released on electronic monitoring, pending his trial.
Larkin cut off his ankle bracelet and disappeared Jan. 12. He was re-arrested later that month after allegedly trying to run down a Harvey police officer with the officer’s squad car, according to interviews and records.
“He shouldn’t have been allowed on the streets,” says Harvey Police Chief Gregory Thomas.
