The South Korea parliament has just passed a law that requires convicted sex offenders to wear a tracking device. A convicted offender may be required to wear the device for up to 10 years.
This controversial law will come into effect this September. Initial discussion wants to make the maximum length of time a tracking device needs to be worn to be 5 years, but the parliament felt a stiffer law is required as a deterrent. Researches show that 83% of convicted sex offenders will re-offend. Together with recent reports of the rampant sexual exploitation that happened in a Korean school, there is great pressure for the government to step up. Culturally, North America and Europe are extremely different, and a tracking device probably will face lawsuits against human rights and privacy. In light of this, do you think any European and/or North American countries will pass similar law(s) mandating a tracking device for sex offenders?

If, for whatever the strange reason, that public opinion does allow this to happen, I think Canada under the Conservative government may try that if they win a majority. The US wouldn't do that, especially if it is a Democrats government.
Wow, I just think of a whole new market. I am going to be rich.
