Re: parole, criminal watchlist
For the mild version it's social stigma Criminal Record. law enforcers react at -2, and there are certain things you're not allowed to do or be. If you are under active surveillance all the time, then you also have an x1/4 Enemy. A pretty powerful one although it only reacts if you step out of line and you can't evade surveillance inconspicuously to do it.

oops probably figured it out
I always find an answer right after I post a question.
A parolee or someone otherwise on a criminal watch list probably has; Enemy (Large Group; FBI, DHS etc.) [-8] Watcher (Enemy stalks and spies on you) x 1/4 Frequency (Fairly often roll 9 or less) x 1 |

It seems that continual surveillance might have a frequency of 'all the time' ( x 4) what frequency would best represent a weekly visit or check in? I was thinking 9 or less (x 1) for basically getting harassed or reported every other adventure. |

Re: parole, criminal watchlist
What you are convicted of can make a difference as well, insurance fraud would likely be the 6 on level of nuisance. Being convicted of child molestation may be at 16 or 17, when you count things like neighborhood watch.

Re: parole, criminal watchlist
In a future campaign, the 9- represents an expert system monitoring your motions and activities in a surveillance state and flagging you for the attention of a human officer when you do something questionable. And it's only 9- because the system is far from perfect and human sign-off is still legally required.

You might also worry about your old gang wondering if there was a REASON you were handled so gently.
