Well this was a definitely a media piece. As was pointed out earlier, I doubt any police officer is on Parole. Also, no police car beams signals into space to satellites. I can't believe they were that dumb to even say that, then to add a graphic? Many police agencies, as well as numerous other industries, use GPS to show the location of their cars on the CAD map in Dispatch. They RECEIVE the signal from the GPS system, same as your tom tom. Then they transmit it back to the main server via CELL PHONE SIGNAL using an air card in their laptops. sheesh

2nd, it was pointed out that that community contracts with the local constables office to provide patrol services so why would the sheriff's office go there? That no longer is their responsibility, but rather the constables.

Media bias at it's best folks....my thinking, the producer doesn't like the sheriff!
