Watching your wife's commute also makes me uneasy. Maybe she wants to get you a surprise birthday present or something. Anyway, I wouldn't want to track someone like that (including children) or be tracked like that.

EDIT: toned down the term I used.

It's for safety.

Of our women and children!

Way to rationalize stalking away.

They do the same in Chris Hansen's show. They are there only to check upon the safety of the minor.

I mean Apple even added a native feature to iMessage with full on tracking, exactly because of safety. Sure someone needs to send it manually but the whole point of Check-in (tracking someones progress home) is safety. Just too many shady blokes out on the street at night.

I understand. My girlfriend lives in LA, lot of shady people out in the streets during the daytime, too.

I do not see how following her every step would help her though.

We are usually in a call whenever she is outside, but I feel like even this is futile were anything bad to happen.
