An Act relative to GPS tampering

SD 1033 makes it a crime for individuals under court order to tamper with GPS tracking devices required as a condition of probation or pre-trial release. The bill prohibits intentionally damaging, removing, modifying, or deactivating such devices, or attempting to do so. Violators face penalties of up to five years in prison or two and a half years in a House of Correction. This directly affects people on probation or pre-trial release who are mandated to wear GPS monitors.
