P. v. Gower CA4/2
Defendant was convicted of a violation of Penal Code section 290.018(b) (failure to register). He was released on parole after serving one year nine months of a two-year eight-month sentence. On July 20, 2020, he was given a document entitled Special Conditions of Parole, which he signed in the presence of his parole agent, Agent Q. One of the conditions required defendant to have continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring. Another condition provided, “You shall charge the GPS device at least two times per day (every 12 hours) for at least one full hour each charging time. You shall contact your parole agent immediately if and when the device vibrates and/or makes and audible tone.”
A petition for revocation of parole was filed on November 29, 2021, alleging that defendant failed to keep his GPS unit charged.
