“Protecting Children Vs. Protecting Privacy”: Online at Bloomberg View, law professor Noah Feldman has an essay that begins, “Can Wisconsin make a sex offender who’s completed his sentence wear a GPS monitor on his ankle for the rest of his life? Reversing a lower court judgment last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit said the answer is yes. The opinion, by the influential Judge Richard Posner, presents itself as an exercise in cost-benefit analysis and legal common sense. But the decision is wrong nonetheless, because the right to privacy can’t be balanced away by statistics.”

My earlier coverage of last Friday’s Seventh Circuit ruling can be accessed here.
