Martha Stewart calls lockdown ‘hideous’: Martha Stewart was in an interview with Vanity Fair when she made this remark. By merely saying this, I bet she violated some intellectual property law somewhere.
Asked about the electronic monitoring device she must wear on her ankle — she has complained repeatedly that it irritates her skin — Stewart says she knows how to remove it.
“I watched them put it on. You can figure out how to get it off,” she is quoted as saying. “It’s on the Internet. I looked it up.”
Her publicist’s eyes “widened with alarm” when Stewart made the remark. The article didn’t say whether Stewart claimed ever to have taken off the device.
Her lawyer is likely dead from a heart attack by now.
That's interesting. Does anyone know who manufacurers the particular ankle bracelet she has to wear?
I work at a halfway house that uses the ProTech electronic monitoring system. The bracelets are equipt with fiberoptics through the middle. The band can easily be removed by cutting it with scissors, or prying out the pins that hold it onto the devise. However, once the fiber optics broken or no longer making contact witht he devise, the other equipment knows. An alarm would be sent out to the proper authorities. I'm no scientist, but how do you fool the fiberoptics?
I have read Martha's statement and through research of my own I can confirm the possibilities of these actions. I have yet to find anything online that has provided a step by step instruction like she has hinted towards; however, there are a few sites that provide enough information to be of use to anyone desperate enough. Though I do not condone the following actions, I will relay the information that can be found online. You can put 2 and 2 together yourself. The ankle unit sends an in-range signal every 38 seconds. This is the window for those who didn't catch that. If someone were to try and tamper with the unit you have to bypass 1 or all of 3 fields. The first is optical sensor that prevents a cutting of the band itself. Next, is a metal contact if the band is forced open with the screws taken out. Finally, there is an encryption method of the RF signal to prevent duplication. All three methods are good except for one overlooked flaw. One in theory could remove the pins, and using the window of 38 seconds, step outside of the signals range to remove the unit then reassemble the unit stepping back into the signal's range. If done correctly, the receiving unit will never receive the tamper signal and the wearer in theory would then be allowed to roam without worry of authority presence. NOTE1: I do not condone anyone trying this method or any other for it is unlawful to break any of the rules set in place while under house arrest and the participating party will therefore be sent back to jail subject to the PO's request. NOTE2: This 38 second window can only be confirmed with the DigitalTecnologies-2000 HMU4 Solution. Other HMU's will no doubt have a different timing sequence. NOTE3: Though this method can be misused, I have no doubt that future models will render this method useless. For example, in theory the ankle unit could send the tamper signal until the receiver responds leaving a window pointless. Other useful information can be found throughout the internet on how the units work and their relationship with each other; however, I only listed the most pertinent for this method.
Where is the link to these sites offering information on the Electronic Monitoring Equipment? I have not been able to find much on them.
Miles,
How are you able to "confirm" the 38 second window?
For JJ, the only websites that I know of are those created by the device manufacturers, however, they do provide an alarming amount of information through their brochures. This is a website of one of the companies for an example. http://digitaltechnologies-2000.com/products/default.asp
For Albert, in one of the technical manuals for one specific model they discuss the 38 second window, however, for one of the newer models (HMU4) an issue has been discussed about the fact that a relay circuit is used for the window control allowing for any person to hear an audible tone every time the in/out of range signal is produced. This has said to be exactly 60 seconds between each transmission. Even though I'm sure that each model is different in its own unique way, I stand strong believing that the Internet is a wonderful tool.
For any further question posts or emails are welcomed mfava58@yahoo.com
thats my Miles.....lol
ey yo thanks nigga iv been on dis HA shit for a few months and all the cops gots on me is a few punks sayin i mercd some nigga so dis shit gave me a little time to go fuck em up ya know ....thanks nigga

lil balla 05, I sencerely hope that your comment was mearly a poor joke. If you had read completely through my post to the side notes you would have been informed on how I do NOT condone these illegal actions. I would also not be pleased to receive any credit for your stated actions. Please contact the site Admin to have your post removed and be honest with the authorities on your behalf. If anyone else has remarks that should remain confidential please inform me through methods stated previously. Thank you.
im a 16 year old who as well wears an ankle monitor and would have to agree in saying that ankle monitors do suck large testicles
REMEMBER....JAIL SUCKS!!!
The Home Monitoring unit worn by Martha Stewart is from Behavior Interventions, (BI, INC).
what the f*ck is wrong with you people that you can actually have so much time on your hands that you can have such a long conversation about Martha Stewart's friggin' ankle monitor
I'm 17 and have to wear an ankle monitor for two years. They just put it on me last week. They f'n suck.
I'm 17 and i was in jail for 63 days and now i have to wear a monitor for 90 day's and do a 5 month mst program and pay restitution thats so big that i have to pay the most ever in sandusky,ohio for a juvenile and i think the monitor part is the worst of it all so yea f**k this little black box
Like several other contributors I am also wearing an ankle monitor. My conviction is pending an appeal and I have been wearing the monitor for 18 months. Unlike some contributors I am not interested in removing the device, but have been accused several times of violating my curfew. I have not done so, and believe my dial-up online service may be interfering with the monitor since they are both on the same phone line. The court does not seem to be interested in technical glitches, even though I have evidence that I was on-line when some (but not all) of the alleged violations occured. I am concerned that my "freedom" will be terminated if future violations occur. I don't know the actual company name but the device says "Watch Patrol" on it. Problems in the State of CT are not uncommon but the court is in official denial that they exist. Do you have any knowledge regarding technical weaknesses or interference problems that can cause these units to malfunction and inaccurately record the wrong times? Any info you have or web site you can lead me to would be much appreciated.
Sorry to burst your bubble but i wouldn't use said techniques to try and remove your Transmitter. Being an EMS at Digital Technologies I know their 3 units in and out. Your Transmitter, even though it does send a signal every 38 seconds, is able to store information for a 96 hour time period until it can send it again. And yes the Transmitter has Quad Tamper as well as the Receiver.
Think you can just take the bracelet off while your out of range? Nope The system throws an alert if it hasn't come in contact with the Transmitter for a certain amount of time. In addition, the system will keep on throwing alerts until the situation is resolved. (This of course takes in to consideration any in's & out's your Officer might have given you.)
I too have been placed on Electronic Monitoring to end on 10/9/06. That seems like an eternity. I was wondering if there are any measures to stop skin irritation. Also the system states that I am not home during times when I am sitting here. The monitoring system has called to confirm but still sends reports to my PO stating I was out of range.
A lot of people like to slip a sock underneath, like the business people type socks, ya know the thin ones? Just be careful not to pull up too hard or you might throw a tamper.
Regarding the out of ranges, it all depends on the exact location of the unit itself. I.E. near any electronic equipment, general height etc. etc.
i wanna know how to get this shit off cuz i can't stand fuckin wearin it and i'm gonna go crzy so someone plz help!!!
