Maine: Bill would prohibit registrants from living in apartments and condos
A legislative proposal in the Maine State House would add living restrictions to that state’s sex offender law.
The bill would ban a convicted sex offender from living in a multiunit building that shares an entrance with a unit occupied by a minor.

The problem is our brothers and sisters are fighting back hard enough or just don’t care !
This is a de facto law anyway. Go apply for an apartment and let me know what percentage get approved after the background check? And if you apply in a wife’s name and move in later, you get non-renewed.
Damn, who came up with that one??
This shows how ridiculous things are getting. Pretty soon we’ll all be living in a cow pasture somewhere.
How about this ordinance in Mequon, WI: “Child safety zones. No person shall enter or be present upon any real property upon which there exists any facility used for or which supports a use of: A movie theatre; A public or private golf course or range;” and a dozen more of such restrictions of which many like “golf courses, and movie theaters” that have nothing to do with being specific to children. In fact, I would venture to say that a private golf course is extremely unlikely to have any children! What about if the theater is featuring an “R” rated movie? Residency restrictions do not allow RSO to live near the police station or within 2000 feet of where someone is home schooled. Basically, after creating the map, the city attorney placed a restriction on any available spot on the map. Here is the map: https://www.ci.mequon.wi.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/police/page/2581/sex_offender_residency_restrictions.pdf Check out buffers around “municipal facility” and “home schools” along with “dance studio”, and “golf course”.
Here is an article about the success in overcoming this abuse of power in Pleasant Prairie, WI over less restrictive rules: https://fox6now.com/2017/04/18/sex-offenders-win-federal-lawsuit-against-village-of-pleasant-prairie-its-going-to-open-a-lot-of-doors/
Note this ordinance “protects” children of all ages! Note the 2000 foot residency restriction around Milwaukee Area Technical College!
This gives the drug dealers ‘free range’ with the children. The drug dealers couldn’t have come up with such a good deal for themselves if they had tried. Some of these lawmakers are watching too much TV and playing too many video games.
More political actions by politicians running scared on false info. I suppose it’s OK for drug dealers to live there, after all, it makes buying drugs much easier for the parents. Sound crazy? Well that is what all these restrictions are.
