gps abrasions

I am an insulin dependent diabetic with  severe neuropathy and loss of feeling in feet. I am currently wearing a gps tracker around my ankle that is rubbing the skin raw. it doesnt hurt , but I almost lost a foot last year to infection and injury on one foot.  the bracelet moves around , I have tried different socks and positions with little or no effect,  interested in input as to what medical problems could continue to worsen or get better.  fell like this is  abuse.

You should be able to get a note from your doctor stating that your medical condition necessitates your tracker position be changed.  Maybe they could put it on your wrist instead.

You have an interesting question and your complaint is reasonable.  My Westlaw database search does not reveal any court decisions in this respect. I would suggest you contact the local office of the ACLU. I'm not sure what alternate means of court compliance are available. Higher bail, for example. GPS trackers are relatively new and the "old way" has been in use since the beginning of the nation. Perhaps a motion could be made by your attorney for an exception.
