People convicted of drunk driving are being ordered to install additional
proprietary software in their computers (mobile phones): specifically,
the nonfree apps for Uber and Lyft.
The one for Uber
spies on the user.
I wonder what the judge would do when the defendant has no mobile
phone. I fear this judge might order the person to carry a mobile
phone. Mobile phones' movements and usage
can be tracked and monitored
by absolutely anyone, so being required to carry one is a big
injustice.
There are occasions when it is legitimate for a court to require
someone to wear a tracker, but such an order should always be explicit,
not camouflaged behind "always have a mobile phone."
