electronic tagging

[pinkpost]

can someone whose is on an electronic tagging device be allowed to go on a 7 day holiday abroad?
thanks, my sons friend has been tagged and they are due to go on 2nd sept

of course not! What would be the point of being tagged?

having said that, theres always loads of stories about how they dont check them anyway

Offenders completing their sentences "on the tag" have to remain indoors at certain times of the day and usually at night. Their compliance with the curfew is checked with an electronic tag and a monitoring unit placed in their home, and connected to a central control room by a telephone line.

the short answer to your question is NO and no exceptions
