I disagree, I had more interactions with convicts then most, and I disagree with the thought our laws our fair and unbiased. I think this is perfectly acceptable solution for the dilemma at hand. It is not violating the parole restrictions, “monitor the use of the Internet,” as long as this condition is met, the parole restrictions are met
Now, because circumvention of the monitoring software is so easy, I will have to say the judge and prosecutor are ignorant to computer tech. Every user here should know that Microsoft Windows can be bypassed with a LIVE CD, and Internet access may be gained.
You can also get a “Free Internet” disk for dial up from AOL, Kmart, net zero and other companies, with spare hard drive and prepaid phone line.
There are hundreds of ways to defeat such an order; the judge/prosecutor is crazy to think this is something they can really enforce.
What they should have done was place a filter in with his IP provider and mandated that he keep the same provider, and inform the parole office before he changes IP providers. I have seen a filter of this sort, it tracked everywhere I went and kept a copy of everything I downloaded.
Yes, I am the guy who advocate better right for convicts/felons/ and other "undesirables"

I'm glad so many of you have never known or been involved with someone who has served time and is on probation. Even -thinking- about ways to evade and avoid the intent of your restrictions is a bad idea. It puts you in entirely the wrong frame of mind to complete the probation successfully.
The object is not to comply with the letter of the terms and blatantly violate them at the same time. the object is to do EXACTLY what is expected and requested of you, because the ONLY alternative is to return to prison and serve the remainder of your sentence.
If they want you to stand on your head and spit jelly beans, you'd better get good at it, because there's only ONE alternative.
