People who commit alcohol-driven crime to be fitted with ’sobriety tags’ in UK

B-but at lEAst We dOn’t gEt ShAwt in sChKewl innit?

I don't see how that's legal. Is it in place of the ankle monitor?

My cousin is on parole in the US and he said he has a similar device. He didnt even commit an alcohol related crime

Let's hope the person being monitored never needs any sort of medical aid (injections, etc) Just saying...

Americans will likely get triggered even though its the UK fpr one reason: they're all drunks who are exactly who this law is targeted at

Ugh, I hope these are being reserved only for violent or repeat driving offenders. I know the legal alcohol limit in the UK is less than a shot. Seems like a severe violation of rights for some people if it’s just they were caught slightly over the legal limit.

Koppa- You 'ave a purrmit for dat drink sur? Hard Working Civ having a beer: I'm only having a couple. Koppa- well 'ats a 400 bobbily doo fine.

This has been in effect in New York since 2018.

Yeah totally wouldn't use a sham wow rag and wrap it around the body of the anklet.

That’s a total violation of someone’s civil liberties

Well, whoever proposed this autocratic obscenity definitely needs to wear one of those.

Madmen n drunks need to be put on the same plane. Unwitting actions planes. Planned crime commiters are real nasty. Mingling within social spaces with nastiness in mind.

Good, you have proven you cannot be trusted with alcohol, you now need to be monitored like a child to make sure you don't do something that could harm someone else. This is entirely fair and fitting punishment for people who aren't mature enough to be trusted in society.

Stay inside! Oh wait domestic abuse rates are rising? Wear the ankle monitor!

Not enough of those tags for that to work in Ireland.
