Three University of Wisconsin professors in Madison say a new state law forcing sexual predators to wear tracking devices for the rest of their lives is unconstitutional.
The professors — Walter Dickey, Byron Lichstein and Meredith Ross — say that the measure violates privacy rights and amounts to punishment and warrantless surveillance when applied to offenders who aren’t on parole or government supervision.
The professors sent a letter to Corrections Secretary Matthew Frank on February 3rd to outline their beliefs.
