MI: Federal judge invalidates portions of SORA

People we still need to remember that we ARE still citizens who VOTE and 250,000 votes does matter in the elections in this state , pay very close attention to this watch who is trying too force these unconstitutional laws against the citizens of this state, The people on this registry MUST vote , Make a difference . Write letters and stand up for what is right, express the damage this registry has done to not just you but everyone around you , NOT just sit back and say what can we do, I have been writing these fools for over 25 years , It hasn’t seem to help but if 250,000 people start … it WILL… write the governor , state reps , attorney general , let them know they are not only impacting us but our families as well .This registry causes no benefit it only Disables and allows HATE , Once a person serves their time they were given they should have the opportunity to reform to correct , Not just forever be a lost walking soul on this earth. Michigan is a sick place to think what they have done can still retroactively be applied to thousands in most cases years after a conviction , People Wake up it may take a 250,0000 registrant march or bring one family member half million on Lansings Capital steps to stop these dirty b@stards .Maybe even carry signs on the front sidewalks of their homes for a few weeks day and night ? See how fast it changes then .See how they and their families like being F%*ked with . Not to mention the yoyo B.S they are pulling now , You donnt have to register this month but you better come back again and see if you have too next time? or else ????? YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING RIGHT ??

I went to register today, hoping that they would say “Sorry no verification for you”. I live in Ionia, Mi
and they said they havent heard anything yet. So I had to register and dole out another $50.00
Kind of pissed me off, but used to it. My conviction date was in 1987.
Hopefully changes are coming soon

Well Everyone, I was bored and asked Tim P. from the ACLU a few questions , though not all questions were answered, he did send this very short answer, paragraph, I will let you interpret it your own way so here it is

Bobby everything is on hold right now.  As for your 25 years you have to understand that the bill was so poorly written that it is not clear as to many areas and also in some places it says one thing and in others it says something else.

Well is all he write back, so don’t think the 27th with the Judge and a Judgment is going to happen, any one have any thoughts on this short response.

I just got this through an email concerning Betts

http://publicdocs.courts.mi.gov/SCT/PUBLIC/ORDERS/148981_64_01.pdf

Just thought you all would like to know what’s up with the Betts case.

@Josh,

I know this is going to sound dumb, but can you please elaborate on what the Judge meant about firm orders, and what this memorandum is that the parties have to come up with by Monday.

I just hope that all this finally means this is coming to an end. Thank you Josh for the update, very much appreciate it.

Everyone this is exactly what the order states:

On March 26, 2020, the court held a telephonic status conference to discuss how this case should proceed with the entry of judgment and distribution of notices in light of the practical limitations created by the current COVID-19 pandemic and a declaration of a state of emergency at both the national and state levels. The parties were in agreement that the initial deadlines outlined in the court’s February 14, 2020 opinion and order are no longer feasible based on the currently strained administrative resources of law enforcement, significantly hobbled in responding to the pandemic.
Under the existing circumstances, the parties agree that the court should defer entry of final judgment in this case and also agree that additional direction from the court is needed. However, the parties disagree as to the precise substance of that direction.
Following a series of telephone organizational conferences with the court, each side has drafted and exchanged with opposing counsel a proposed interim order addressing how this case should proceed during the present state of emergency. As
discussed during the telephone conference of March 26, 2020, the court will direct the parties to present their proposed orders as exhibits to concise memoranda (one memorandum per side) in which the parties explain the basis for their position and offer a critique of the proposed order of the opposing side. The attached proposed orders should be clearly labeled as proposed orders. The court will review and carefully consider these competing memoranda and will ultimately enter its own order providing further guidance in this case. Accordingly
IT IS ORDERED that each side FILE a memorandum on the docket, with a proposed order as an attachment, no later than the close of business on March 30, 2020.

Michigan full of S%$t !!! I knew it would be something too prevent them from Fixing this Unconstitutional B.S law this is been going on for over 25 years kicking the can , I have never seen more B.S in my life .
Michigan You Suck !

Is there any change on the lifetime requirement for the pre-2006 registration

In Michigan. If you were convicted before 2011, do you still have to register?

I just called MSP in Mt Pleasant and asked about reporting, if my case was before 2011. The Officer sound pretty knowledgeable and it. He told me, I dont have to report anymore if my case was before 2011. WOW!

@all Michigan

Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understood, and the parts I am concerned with along with many others in the same boat as I am is this, all pre 2011 registrants will eventually be removed ,unless your conviction was after 2006 but before 2011, you will still have to follow 2006 amendments, but NOT 2011 amendments. Those of us that are pre-2006 and 2011 will come off , and those of us that are even pre-registry, meaning before the registry even existed, will definitely be removed, as soon as the injunction is put into place or a new law is written, either way we have to try and be patient, and we will eventually come of the registry sound about right, again correct me if I misunderstood anything, Thanks in advance.
