From the article:

Nicholas said she believes the ordinance is unconstitutional, in part, because it does not differentiate between the level of threat each offender presents. Under the ordinance, offenders convicted of relatively lower-level sex crimes in the past are treated the same as recently released child molesters and rapists.

But this is the crux of all these sex offender laws as we’re all clumped as one person type.

I’m glad they’re fighting back. The more wins, the better for all of us!

i heard that those with 3 or more domestic violence convictions aren’t allowed to live in Milwaukee either because they may find a significant other there (who will be somebody’s beloved mother, daughter, son, husband or wife) and beat them too.

If this is regulatory and not punitive, then why does it matter what level the sex offender is? Nobody that has completed their sentence successfully is being punished here. THIS IS THE SLIPPERY SLOPE TYPE GOVERNMENT THAT THE US CONSTITUTION PROTECTS ITS CITIZENS FROM!! AND THAT EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY JUDGE WATCHES OUT FOR AND SQUASHES LIKE A BUG.

Shouldnt DUI Convictions be NOT Allowed near ANY store that sells liquor for life ?

How about a Drug user ever being near a pharmacy for life ?

“Milwaukee Ald[erman] Tony Zielinski, a chief proponent of the ordinance, said the city’s lawyers told him in 2014 that they felt comfortable defending the ordinance in court.”

He may feel comfortable, but he and his city council are going to get bitch-slapped just like Pleasant Prairie did, a mere 30 minutes south on I-94.

More importantly, they are on record–video!–stating they want to get rid of RCs not due to any public safety reason, but because they think the city is hosting too many RCs versus the suburbs. Good luck defending THAT position in court, Alderman. It doesn’t even meet the Rational Basis standard of review!

Look out MO, you have competition in WI for the morons-of-the-year award.
