Brah, just quoting the source.
The Moves made removed crime
It's amazing how refusing to prosecute crime reduces crime.

Since February crime is virtually non-existent in the city. Almost down to nothing.

Cool. I guess Orleans Parish can operate on the honor system until a new company steps into the breach.

They have two weeks to figure it out, and that’s assuming no extension. OP’s framing is the equivalent of saying “Dish will no longer carry ESPN” because they are in a fee dispute.

Ankle monitoring needs several components to be useful.
1) The equipment needs to work. It can’t be easy to tamper with the leg monitor. The monitor needs to be easily charged by the user. The monitor needs to reliably give an alert when and only when the person leaves the restricted zone, or enters a forbidden zone. If there are technical errors, like it going off when the person is behind the tv, or other big metal object, or down in the basement where tne signal gets blocked, etc., then the person will abuse this malfunction.
2) There needs to be a person monitoring the alerts, to investigate the person’s whereabouts when it goes off, and generally checks on the device and makes sure it is functioning correctly. This needs to include random home visits.
Violations need to be reported to the judge.
THE BIG ONE:
3). The Judge needs to hold the person on bail accountable for violations, and needs to make them pay the fees. It’s not cheep. If the judge is soft or generally a “restorative justice” judge, then violators are NEVER held accountable and put in jail.
Reading between the lines: the company is frustrated with the judges for not making the person pay, and for not holding them accountable for violations. The company doesn’t want to openly criticize the judges who are their customer, in essence, but they are probably losing money and spinning their wheels. Its frustrating to work hard to monitor a case load, all hours of the day and night, and have no recourse when the people are willfully in violation.

I did see crime was low enough that the city is doing traffic enforcement again
