Seems a bit off to me. Considering the circumstances, I’d think just making sure she was at her workplace seems like as far as it would go, at least until she left for the work day? Very curious to hear informed opinion.
Spoilers for HBO’s The Pitt: Would ER doctor really be arrested at workplace just hours after mass shooting, having tampered with ankle monitor in order to save lives?

Never heard of the show so I don’t know the circumstances of this question but tampering with an electronic monitoring device is a very arrestable felony in Florida.
She had to remove it from a patient? Or removed her own?
I saw it, there’s probably a cop out there that would do it, the vast majority would absolutely not.
For those that haven’t (spoilers), she’s an ED doc with an ankle monitor and it was malfunctioning during a MCI/active shooter so she damaged/destroyed it to keep working.
In the vast majority of cases, no, that wouldn’t have happened. Ankle monitors get cut off all the time at hospitals.
No, the ankle monitor would be the least of anyone’s problem at that point.
You’re asking the wrong question. If they have an ankle monitor, they are on some sort of pre trial bond or probation most likely. Cops don’t handle that, probation and parole or the court handles that. So the correct question is would a probation officer violate someone for that? And the answer is absolutely, they will violate you for them not answering their phone when you call to check in.
Now likely if it were pre trial they would call about it being messed up, it would be replaced, the circumstances would be explained to the judge at a hearing, and then who knows what the judge would decide.
Definitely not here in CA. We get hundreds of notifications weekly about GPS monitors being cut off/removed and we do nothing with that information. In fact while typing this out, I have received 2 notifications about parolees at large for removal of their GPS, and make it 3 now.
