Great question, how do you find the answers to that.
How can we get retro active life bans with no conviction.

I suppose that means embezzlers will be able to get jobs at banks, arsonists will get jobs at fire departments, drug dealers will get jobs at pharmacies, but the registrant will still be unable to even get a job picking up roadside trash.
Sounds fair.

New California law will allow ex-offenders to seal criminal records. There’s no such thing as equality under the law

Hey Dennis thanks for your input, I believe it does violate some sort of due process assuming one will commit a criminal act during an emergency situation simply because of a criminal act committed in the past. Then forcing the person to separate from their families to bunker in a correctional facility because “they’re too likely to reoffend, so they can’t go to a regular shelter or anywhere else except jail”. I can see some lawyer arguing this in court, ofcoarse it’ll be a challenge but.. maybe

I am confused as to the over all case and it seems only this one little thing is being challenged about whether or not someone has a….oh what was it? Expungement? I think. So the case effects nothing else?

That’s exactly it, it’s an outrageous human rights abuse but one has to find a specific constitutional category it fits into in order to sue for a civil rights violation. Just being a registered citizen alone isn’t a protected category, and to an average person a jail looks pretty good during a natural disaster…as a structure it’s not necessarily less comfortable than a shelter.

Seems to me that if someone has diagnosed PTSD from their previous experience of being incarcerated, they’d have a fairly good case that they’re being effectively being discriminated against due to a disability.

Im talking about forcing us to either stay at our homes during hurricanes or “seek shelter” in jail. That just sounds all kinds of wrong but idk if that violates any specific laws we can bring up in court.

For what purpose?

Basically, you don’t have standing to file a lawsuit if the end result (winning) would have no impact on you. There must be a “case or controversy” between the parties in order for a court to have jurisdiction, and the plaintiff must be able to show that he or she would benefit from the relief requested.
