Is it even true that more surveillance = lower costs / safer streets?

Regardless, this program should be struck down on constitutional grounds as you're almost guaranteed to infringe on the rights of 3rd parties when listening in on minors of all people. Totally absurd.

I have doubts about that. These spy devices don't actually prevent anyone from re-offending, and if anything could give the state a false sense of security (I can't imagine it being too difficult to take off the device without it noticing, as to make it look like everything is fine when you're actually on the run).

The UK is probably a decent piece of evidence that it's not true.
