You know there are police departments where so many incidents of on=the-job sex escapades have occurred that officer are no longer trusted to drive suspects or felons alone? you. me and the rest of the world’s taxpayers have to foot the bill for this .. a simple non-intrusive GPS tracker could insure ther were no unauthorized stops. Of course I guess one could have sex while driving but I’ll leave that issue to others.

And again, read the quotes,. No one called Mr. Dousset’s death “Bullocks” but the actual cuase factor being GPS? “Bullocks”.

“Sure, you need to make sure employees aren’t abusing your system. But you don’t need to know exactly what they’re doing every second of the day”

Sure, I can agree with that in principle Just tell me sir, if youy would, how often _is_ it appropriate to check on workers? Seriously, I’d like to know what you think is fair. It’s obvious you understand that the business owner has rights as well as the employees, so tell me what you feel is an adequate, balanced and fair rate of checking? Perhaps we aren’t as far apart as we think … we’ll never know unless we talk this through.

Now as far as the very unfortunate death of Mr. Dousset, it was not I who used the term bullocks, if you read the source article you can see where I got my information. His name is Mr. Thomas, and I merely quoted him. He gave me a good headline. Perhaps your real issue lies with him … I don’t make the news, I just report it.

I find it interesting that although Mr. Dousset’s doctor’s letter indeed mentions stress involving GPS tracking, neither Mr. Dousset nor his doctor took any action before the tragedy to change the situation. Why the doctor did not choose to order the patient removed from the stressful environment is unknown. Why the company would not be informed of the medical condition of one of their employees is also a mystery. Should they require regular psychiatric screening to detect depression, caused bt GPS or other reasons? Hmm, now that sounds a little Draconian, doesn’t it? By it surely might have saved Mr. Dousset’s life. Again, into the unknown.

You know I don’t want this comment to run on as long as an article, but I’d be glad to give you a platform to rebut my position further, if you care to … just send me an email or plain text or Word file and I’ll be happy to feature it so you get equal timne in theis issue which seem very important to you.
