Abstract
The prison and jail populations of the United States are above capacity; new alternatives are needed now. Because of this priority demand, many states have adopted electronic monitoring of offenders as a solution. However, electronic monitoring may violate the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment - the ambiguity lying in the fact that there is not consistent legislation on electronic monitoring. The law seems to vary from state to state.
