A federal lawsuit challenges the city’s residency restrictions for registered sex offenders, concluding that the local ordinance’s exclusion zones “cover virtually all residential property within the city” and are more stringent than rules by similar municipalities.
Filed Dec. 8 in U.S. District Court by Sacramento-based attorney Janice Bellucci, the lawsuit claims Adelanto’s local law violates the 14th Amendment, which ensures due process and equal protection of law, and is unconstitutionally vague. Full Article
hey can you or someone please supply with me with every municipality that still has these restrictions here in cali?? I really need the city’s name and exact code # to include in my motion..thanks
Beautifully worded: “The ordinance’s restrictions are an ‘arbitrary, politically motivated act imposed by a local government in response to popular sentiments,’ the lawsuit reads, ‘based upon misinformation, which seeks retribution against Registrants who constitute a socially outcast minority.’ ”
Now if only the same argument can be said about IML…
Sounds like the Perfect Grounds for a Lawsuit to me.
can you please post a link to the brief??? thanks
Excellent. Hello everybody.!
And all registered should be enjoined in lawsuit as the exclusion pretty much effects a majority registered.
City council take the time to read the Constitution at your lunch break.
Amazing.
First, who on earth lives in Adelanto? This is in the middle of the desert? Yet, we have people just wanting to live a peaceful life!
