   I'm not on house arrest, but I have a GPS unit. I have broken it off and was   
   immediately commanded to go to the Community Justice Services office. I   
   learned that the thing functions by light sensitivity and fiber optic wires.   
   There are holes in the strap,   
    like the holes in a belt, which trigger a tamper alert if light passes   
   through. The fiber optic wires are embedded into the strap and pass through   
   the unit, so a tamper alert happens if the strap is separated from the unit.   
   Someone else commented about    
   someone who supposedly managed to keep the fiber optic circuit during and   
   after removal. Anyone who figures out how to do this is a non-conformist   
   genius, deserving of respect for defying the absurd system. Remember that what   
   comes off must also go back    
   on or the officer in charge of the monitoring is going to create problems...
