   I have some ideas.  First the GPS portion doesn't work everywhere.  Large   
   buildings, tunnels, etc. block GPS signals.  Get a cheap GPS and carry it   
   around and watch the signal, you will find lots of dead spots.  Second, the   
   ankle monitor glitches many    
   times like if you bang it on the tub and you wouldn't know it glitched. The   
   people monitoring these things know this and don't do anything.  Only when the   
   glitch lasts for an unreasonable amount of time do they report it.  How much   
   is that time, I don't    
   know.  Now do what I did. The strap has small plastic hooks similar to an   
   electrical plug on your car.  On a car you use a small screwdriver to pull the   
   hooks away and separate the connection.  This cannot be done on your ankle   
   monitor.  However the    
   hooks can be broken.  Make a simple tool to spread the strap apart until it   
   breaks free from one end.  Remove it and put it back together.  If done fast   
   enough it may just appear to be a glitch that won't get reported.  If it does   
   get reported just tell    
   them you caught it on something.  The tool I made was two pieces of metal   
   joined by a bolt in one end.  Picture the tool opening and closing with the   
   bolt holding it together.  Then I welded a nut in the center of one piece of   
   metal three inches from the    
   bolt.  I ran a second long bolt thru the nut until it contacted the other   
   piece of metal.  Then tightening the second bolt causes the pieces of metal to   
   expand.  Put the two ends of metal inside the strap.  Keep tightening until   
   the strap snaps off.     
   Simple.  Wait and see if you get a call.  I did this and it took about three   
   days before my PO called me.  He was confused as to how it happened.  He just   
   had me come in and get a new one. I'm going to do it again during his days off.
