The Michigan Senate voted Tuesday to update the state’s sex offender registry laws to comply with a recent federal court ruling.
The decision blocked increased reporting requirements for people convicted before new, tougher laws took effect. The court also declared unconstitutional a provision that allowed the state police to decide if an out-of-state crime warranted reporting.
Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks (D-Grand Rapids) said that part created a loophole for out-of-state offenders.
Michigan needs to drop the registry in it’s entirety. They will never pass a law that passes constitutional muster.
Let the Games Begin ! 😎
This has been in constant legal battles for years and probably will come up again. Here’s an idea Michigan, Get rid of the registry and problems you created will be solved.
It’s frustrating that even in an NPR outlet broadcast from a college near one of the most liberal cities in America that we can’t get a single positive word said about us. In a country where so many people talk about “fascism” and study fascism and repeat the “First they came for the …” mantra ad nauseam it seems no one can spot that WE are the untouchables. In psychology, there is something known as the “better-than-average-effect” (BTAE), where most people think they are better than average at a lot of things. This includes moral bravery—a recent study showed that people think they would resist social and government pressure to do immoral things better than the average person. Obviously, that can’t be true, and it shows that, despite knowing the dangers of fascism, in all likelihood most people would end up going along with it because social pressure is far stronger than we think.
What the legislature is overlooking in Michigan is by putting more and more people on the registry they are expanding the number of opponents to the registry. Both Detroit and Flint have over 1% of their population on the registry. In Saginaw, nearly 2% of the population is on the registry. It’s only a matter of time before there are enough registrants in these cities to form a voting block.
Consider using Grok if u r doing pro se appeals or filing a habeas corpus or 6.500 motion. Tell Grok all the facts and exact wording of the felony information (minus your personal info)…give the jury instructions such as MI JI 38.10
Grok is worth about 150,00 attorneys and paralegals plus its FREE !
Example of a Grok conclusion in regards to using a computer with a decoy on the other end:
mcl 750.145c2 & 145d2f
Does the attempt provision of c2 require the knowledge element ? YES!
Because the knowledge element follows the list of prohibited conduct .
Since the predicate crime fails the computer crime collapses and fails also.
d2f :” if the underlying crime is a felony….”
People v Thousand is a crock of b.s….the impossibility doctrine blathering doesn’t touch the knowledge element !
Mich Ct of Appeals gaslighting…as usual.
They are liable for hundreds of fraudulent prosecutions…
Billions in damages are owed to their victims ! They will fight the law but they can’t beat this one .
A Class Action lawsuit with payouts per each victim in the multi-millions especially if forced onto the heartless lawless registry.
Good news. 6th Appeals has ruled Pre-2011 registrants are not part of the stay (Goldsmith Ruling) Check it out
