Dallas Police Chief Launches Scathing Attack on Use of Ankle Monitors Versus Prison for Trial Holds.
SUMMARY: Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia is calling for violent criminals to be put in jail rather than being monitored with ankle bracelets. He is angry that a man with a violent past who had threatened his former girlfriend and her family, has now been charged with shooting and killing the girlfriend, their one-year-old baby, and the girlfriend’s parents. Garcia believes that ankle bracelets do little to prevent violent criminals from committing more violence while awaiting trial. The suspect, Byron Carillo, cut off his ankle monitoring bracelet within two minutes of the shootings. The incident is being described as a “family annihilation” and experts report that Texas leads the U.S. in these types of crimes.
