obligations and restrictions…”
Really? All the legislature did was remove the safety zone restrictions for those of us convicted prior to that amendment being enacted. That did not “vastly reduce” anything. I’m in Oakland County Michigan, and I’m still being subjected to ex post facto violations, having been convicted in 1993 before a registry was ever created here.
The Sixth Circuit needs to lay the gauntlet down on the State again and order them to stop violating our Constitutional rights or abolish the registry altogether.

What some people will do to justify their existence!

This was in 2004 after that law should’ve been inoperative. She’d have a great case for having the whole conviction thrown out, not to speak of the registration requirement, if there was an attorney willing to work with her.

So basically in 37 pages he thinks that ligation will be needed to sort out new amendments since the new statute has the same issues as the old one. He believes Plaintiffs will win the first amendment issues with anonymous speech on internet and legislators should review current issues before more legislation is passed instead of after to stop more exposed facto lawsuits.

So can some one explain to me what this article says and actually means for us if anything at all. Thank you.
