Michigan's new law allows judges to order domestic violence suspects to wear GPS devices - even before they go to trial. The idea is to alert victims if alleged abusers are nearby.

Authorities and victims will "know exactly where they are," said Harvette Williams, 39, a former real estate agent who is now a lawyer. (source: edition.cnn.com)
