1. A computer readable storage device with instructions stored thereon, the instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

  • receiving data including a plurality of radio frequency identification reader unique identifiers, the data including a plurality of transponder unique identifiers detected by the plurality of radio frequency identification readers during a headcount, wherein each radio frequency unique identifier is associated with an individual radio frequency identification reader and each transponder unique identifier is associated with an individual transponder, each individual radio frequency identification reader configured in association with a location and thereby identifying a location of the individual transponders, the received data including data representative of a direction of travel, as determined by a radar module of a radio frequency identification reader, associated with at least one of the transponder unique identifiers;

    comparing the received plurality of transponder unique identifiers to an expected set of transponder unique identifiers to be received in the headcount and location where one or more of the individual transponder are to be located and not to be located;

    determining if there is a discrepancy between the expected set of transponder unique identifiers, the received plurality of transponder unique identifiers, and locations where the individual transponders are to be and not to be located;

    determining, in view of a stored offender relation restriction rule with regard to unique transponder identifiers of at least two individuals, whether the unique transponder identifiers of the at least two individuals will be at a same location based on a direction of travel associated with at least one unique transponder identifier of an individual of the at least two individuals, that the at least two individuals will be in the same location; and

    sending an alert to an entity in response to determining the stored offender relation restriction rule is violated by the at least two individuals being at the same location.
