goverment owned patents, but a quick easrch of the US patent office of
U.S. application No. 09/082,313, Layson, Jr., filed May 20, 1998.

Police now can keep tabs on criminals like this one by using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, the same technology the military uses to target bomb sites and the U.S. Justice Department uses to zero in on drug traffickers.
This is the brainchild of Bob Martinez, U.S. drug czar during the Bush administration and a former governor of Florida. He's marketing the 2-year-old system through his company, Pro Tech Monitoring Inc., Palm Harbor, Fla.
