MI: Michigan State sex offender registry can’t be enforced in pandemic

A federal judge is commanding state authorities to stop enforcing rules under the Michigan Sex Offender Registry Act during the coronavirus pandemic.

According to an interim order U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland issued Monday, officials are “preliminarily enjoined from enforcing registration, verification, school zone, and fee violations of (the act) that occurred or may occur from February 14, 2020, until the current crisis has ended, and thereafter until registrants are notified of what duties they have under SORA going forward.”

    So everyone who still have to go in and register should remember to sneeze and cough violently while they’re at the sheriffs office… 😝

    Just like all the stores open they know it takes 14 days to even get symptoms there’s no way to pinpoint you get it from jail registering. They need todo it by phone always should have been done by phone. They could give everyone a fingerprint scanner with GPS all you do touch the scanner call in and done. They’d save money and less out our pocket. Workers comp only writing 100k policy right now they are getting ready to take a hit. Us going in to register is negligent on the state those officers are at risk and at risk contaminating the whole jail. Officers duty is to put their selves in harms way to save lives but every kid is at home. Probably like 95 percent of us aren’t a threat. There’s other ways todo this registry. And contaminating mass people behind bars is negligence if you ask me there’s gonna be attorneys sitting at home thinking how to wipe insurance companies on this you watch.

    I don’t foresee this ever happening in Florida unless it becomes a massive epidemic so brutal, that they literally become fearful of us possibly infecting them.
