GPS-tagged asylum seeker trial ended with no benefit, Home Office says
- A Florida man, Tyler Michael Strack, was arrested for hiding a GPS tracker on a woman's car to engineer a chance meeting, according to a criminal complaint.
- The Home Office's pilot scheme for tracking asylum seekers with ankle tags showed no significant difference in compliance rates, with 16% absconding compared to 14% without tags.
- The trial involved about 1,200 asylum seekers and found that two-thirds of those tagged had issues with keeping the device charged or tampering with it.
- The Information Commissioner's Office stated the scheme was not legally compliant and warned against further monitoring attempts.
