Then they should have thought of that before they started harassing someone.
But they may not have even done so. This is for alleged stalkers.
2km also essentially allows stalking them if you accuse them. Are they at home? Let's just walk within 2km and find out. Even just saying a distance and not location would make triangulation easy. Just go to 3 spots and see where the distances overlap. 2 would often be good enough for an educated guess.
I am more in favour of notifying police. 1km is probably still a bit of a wide area although if they are just notified first and only take action if you continue moving closer, say to 200m or so, then it might be more reasonable.
Seems courts are taking the power seriously for the accused.
Generally no contact orders work both ways. Neither party cannot go within X distance of each other.
I don't know how the South Korean legal system works, but this sounds a bit like "release with conditions" we sometime have after arrest in the US.
Reading the article, dangerous stalking seems to be increasing. I hope someone is looking into what's creating that motivation.
If they have an ankle monitor, there is probably some sort of proof. Otherwise the app would probably be the least of your worries. Your theory about tracking the stalker is pretty useless because most people want to avoid their stalker at all cost and not track them down.
Also if the police only reached out to you when your stalker is 200m away how would they arrive in time to help you.
Its more about notifying them earlier so they can monitor it. If you are clearly moving straight there then they can probably send someone sooner. Rather than automatic catch you for going vaguely nearby.
That's a load-bearing "probably"
fascinating take. make it easier for the alleged abusers to get close to the victims.
