No statistical content here but it’s interesting. I remain baffled why they can’t do more of this for people on probation, using cellular technology to enforce all sorts of movement restrictions.

Aren't GPS tracking units already in widespread use with sex offenders? If I remember correctly, a requirement under Jessica's Law was that it mandated that, and a lot of states have adopted it (although maybe some states removed that provision before passing it). I know using them is relatively cheap compared to the state's prison budgets (they usually run under $20 million), but that would obviously go up if you included all people on probation. Perhaps state's starved budgets don't want to expand it for costs reasons, even though it seems like a small fee to me.
Also, nitpick about the article, but I'm 100% sure GSM uses multilateration, not triangulation
