Are these conditions reasonable?

Isn't that a separate issue? If the question is whether the ankle monitors are effective at ensuring people don't breach their conditions, the answer seems to be a clear "no," regardless of what you may think of those conditions.

I mean, if a condition is "do not come within 1000ft of a liquor store", but the bus they ride to work goes past several liquor stores and sets off their ankle monitor, then this isn't really indicative of anyone doing anything wrong.
