DUI / DWI Law Answers
Ideally you should have asked these questions when the monitor was placed on you. Anyway, whoever represented you in case can get you that information. If your represented yourself contact your local public Defender's office for more information. I'm sure that they can help you out on this.
The fact that you can go as far as the front and backyards mean that either the system has a little give in it (ie traveling certain short distances don't set off any detectors) or it could be that you just got lucky and didn't get caught. For the time being iI wouldn't press the point until I spoke with at least one of the two sources I mentioned above.
