Brits Attach Ankle Monitor to Offender's Fake Leg by Mike Hughes


Recommended Posts

Two employees of a private security firm called G4S have been fired after attaching an electronic monitor to a man’s prosthetic leg. The firm, which claims to be “the world’s leading international security solutions group,†places tens of thousands of ankle bracelet monitors on offenders each year on behalf of Brittan’s Ministry of Justice. However, 29-year-old Christopher Lowcock, who was to be monitored for a court-imposed curfew due to drug and weapon charges, fooled them.

 

Lowcock got G4S employees to attach his electronic monitor to the ankle of his false leg. This, of course, allowed him to remove the limb, leave it behind, and break curfew without alerting officials.

 

“In this individual’s case two employees failed to adhere to the correct procedures when installing the tag. Had they done so, they would have identified his prosthetic leg,†a G4S spokeswoman told the BBC.

 

It’s possible Lowcock would still be beating the system now if he hadn’t been picked up on a driving-related offense.

hahahaha!! that's great!

 

what a smart guy, and what dumb, dumb employees.

it's gotta be common knowledge outside of the health care field that anyone with a prosthetic has a)multiple attachments for different usages and b)is perfectly capable getting around without their prosthetic with a wheel chair, crutches or arm brace.

 

+1 for lowcock for sure!!
