Orange County is taking what some civil libertarians
consider troubling steps to keep tabs on released sex
offenders, giving them periodic lie detector tests and, starting
next year, requiring some to wear wristbands linked to
satellite tracking systems.
The county will become the first in the state, and one of only
a dozen or so nationwide, to track sex offenders on parole
and probation with global positioning satellites, which allow
officials to pinpoint offenders' locations around the clock.
