MI: Michigan Supreme Court limits sex offender registry law to post-2011 cases
The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that people who committed sex offenses before July 2011 cannot be required to follow the state’s current sex offender registry law.
The unanimous decision says applying the 2021 law to older cases would add punishment after the fact.
The ruling does not affect people whose offenses happened on or after July 1, 2011. They remain subject to the current registration requirements.

Very funny, isn’t any sex offender registry punishment, regardless what the judges, courts and law makers say. Especially if it was “Awarded” to us after we had already been sentenced? Mostly those like myself, who there was no registry until years after our offense(s).
Lawmakers don’t care about laws. If they did, ex post facto would have been considered in all of these draconian punishments.
