More details to this question:
After a case is Dismissed, or dropped, the judge then orders a removal of the device. If I cut it off myself after the order is made can I still be charged for or with tampering? If so is there and state laws or cases that backs that up? I would assume the Courts would have no jurisdiction no more over the defendant once the case is dropped and ordered for removal.

If the only reason you are wearing an ankle monitor is because you were ordered to as a condition of bond, and then the case was dismissed, all bond conditions are no longer in force. Although I don't foresee how the judge would still have any authority over you if you were to cut off your monitor, why risk it? Call your attorney, bail bondsman, and/or bond officer and ask when you can get it off. It should be immediately, but why cause trouble for yourself if there is something you are not aware of and you cut it off prematurely?
