Victims can open the app and track a tagged suspect’s location and direction of travel once they come within a 2km radius. If that distance falls below 1km, police and probation authorities receive an alert and contact the victim.
seams okay for me
That seems pretty short though, surely it would mean you are not allowed to live, work or even vist the same town they live or work in.
Like if anyone I knew was to be my stalker, one of us would have to quit their job and sell their house to relocate.
I thought you meant short for the victim… like 2km seems not enough. I would expect something more like 10km or something.
This is just for an alleged rather than convicted stalker. Distances like that mean you would need to relocate to another part of the country over an allegation.
Oh ok, I thought it was like restraining order type stuff.
This is both a fitting punishment and a nightmare from a privacy perspective
You know what? I’m OK with a panopticon specifically for convicted stalkers. I realize the potential for a slippery slope, but I think the risk is worth it in this one case.
then you’ll realize the even bigger slippery slope when you reread the article and discover it is for suspected stalkers
Living on Earth is a nightmare from a privacy perspective.
They have space binoculars pointed at you & AI is allowing them to transcribe everything you say into words even they can understand
It only shows their location within a certain range.
And considering that this is a punishment for violating someone else’s privacy I can get behind this.
Now do the same with corporations and ceos
Fun fact: Waluigi is famously the evil version of Luigi
I imagine it makes beeping noises and displays a blip on a radar display like the proximity devices in alien movies. Shudders.
Time to grab the flame thrower
And so it seems the stalker has become the stalkee. Delicious.
It’s interesting that I’ve never seen a single Korean news article about this. And this is a country where even the petty stupid arguments between neighbors make national news.
Imagine getting buzzed every time your stalker’s train passed near your apt on their way to work or vice versa.
So how does this work if a convicted stalker just lives or works within a few km of where a victim lives or works?
Like another commenter said. Stalking victims already have to move to avoid their stalkers. This puts that responsibility on the offender rather than the victim. And a good relief for the victims
Ah, TIL, thank you, I didn’t see that!
I have no idea, but if I had to guess based on a couple of court cases that came up on youtube, the stalker has some carve out where they can go to work, but they have to take very inconvient ways to get there to minimize proximity to the victim.
The judge would probably make stipulations in fringe cases like that.
Yeah. Pretty reasonable tbh this one fuck stalkers
I know of a case where an assault victim got a special device that relayed the proximity of their atacker starting from 3000 meters.
It was paired with the ankle bracelet and it only beeped proximity. No location. If a certain range was breeched, it would relay instantly to authorities, which are mandated to call the bracelet carrier imediatly. No answer/range reduction, immediate victim call/visit/collection.
what if u pretend to be a victim its a good idea tho i think the makers arent trying to use it for bad
What if you shut the hell up and believed victims?
Believe anyone at any time for any reason? Sounds tenable.
