NO. SJC-10824 PURSUANT TO GLC 211, 5 3 FROM ... - Mass Cases

Here, in the non fiction, Aldrich not only
had to endure the constant onslaught of ridicule,.
humiliation, and -6stracirsm.' due to the "bewitch-
ment of the GPS gizmo," Town of Blackstone, supra
I1
at 570, a. 2, and being mislabe.led a sex offender"
II
and sexual predator", but Aldrich's .personal
liberty was substantially violated by the GPS
statutory prohibitions which forced self imposed
restaint's upon Aldrich to refrain from going to
places where children frequently congregated, e.g.
parks, playgrounds, amusement parks, schools,
community centers, etc.,. and to disassociate himself
from various religious, political, community ''and
other social activities. G.L.c. 265, 8 47.
Aldrich's fear of direct or indirect confron-
tation with the public even through the most
innocuous situations, e.g. an unintended touch,
a wink, a hug, a 'kiss, closeness, a helping hand,
.etc., could easily be misconstrued as sexual
deviant behaivor warranting a, concerned citizen's
ruled that "prolonged GPS monitoring yields ... a
highly detailed profile, not simply of where we go,
but by easy inference, our'associations - political,
religious, amicable and amormous, to name only a few -
and the pattern of our orofessional and avocatinnnl . - - - - - . - -
pursuits". In State v.'Jackson, supra at 224, the
court discussed GPS technology in vehicles and stated:
II
In this age, vehicles are used t o take people to a
vast number of places that can record all of these
travels, and thus can provide a detailed picture of
one's life".
