Judge David Kobos of Midland, Texas, implements a program using GPS ankle monitors to track truant students. The program, which utilizes technology from the BI Corporation, allows the court to "send in the troops" if a student leaves a prescribed school zone.

In a featured interview, Judge David Kobos explains his use of GPS ankle monitors for truant students in Midland, Texas. He defends the practice as a "Class C misdemeanor" enforcement tool and claims a 90-95% compliance rate after 12 years of implementation.
