What about people who’s registering offense predates 1995 when there was no public registry? What about juveniles? It seems completely insane to me that people that were technically adults at the time of their offense can be removed from the registry under the Holmes Youthful Training Act but people as young as 9 years old at the time of their offense stay on the registry for life . I was 13 and my original offense was in 1994 . I was arrested and served almost 6 months in jail in 2012 for unknowingly violating one of the new amendments made in 2011. That will have to be vacated. What about any civil lawsuits for false imprisonment? Has anybody with an original registrable offense pre dating 2006 that was convicted of failure to register under the 2011 SORA tried to get compensation? Could they even?? And will the ACLU finally speak up for the juveniles and see that the state of Michigan does not exceed the federal guidelines on their length of registration? What about arguing wether the retroactive placement of juveniles who predate 1995 before there was even a public registry is constitutional?

In reply to Dr.. You'd be amazed at how many people making these laws are indeed perverts and pedophiles themselves. The entire system is disgusting and corrupt.

Just got back from Gratiot Co.
sheriffs office,
I asked what if anything has changed, (since my last reporting) ?, yes the thousand foot rule does not apply, that was it !
The paper work was quicker than before.
We agreed on the incompetence of the Michigan State Police and the legislature,

but other than that everything was as it was before….

30 days back in 5-10-1993 !

30 years and counting,

just read the paperwork,
first line under picture is ( tier 3 )
then down by the bottom victim’s age,
and below that, place of incarceration, blank. Date of incarceration, blank. Date of release, blank.
Whom ever is filling out the forms has a cherry picking background!!!!

Wonderful news, When can we get this same help in Florida? I’m retroactively being punished for life. One plea-deal in 1993. I was 19 year old on the alleged Criminal offense date.

In reply to D. But that's one case in one state. How many other laws are there out there that do the same thing? Hopefully it is a crack in the ice to go after others.

Well they had to admit it is punitive. You cannot punish people twice for a crime.

In reply to Larry Kincaid.

Larry, I wish it were that easy. If we could just remove anyone from the registry, we would have long ago done so. For there to be any positive change to the NC registry, or any state registry, one of two things needs to happen.
1. Convince one or more of your state legislators to introduce a bill specifying the changes that you want to occur. You chances are better if you write the bill before approaching the legislator(s). NARSOL couldn’t do this; we have no standing in any specific state.
2. Someone in the state who can show that his or her inclusion on the registry is causing harm amounting to punishment or who has another valid claim can obtain an attorney and bring a civil suit. NARSOL couldn’t do this; we have no standing in any specific state; NARSOL as an organization cannot show harm or injury due to the registry.

For those not in the know, South Carolina’s Supreme Court recently held that lifetime registration, absent Due Process of Law, is unconstitutional. See Powell v. Keel, Appellate Case No. 2019-001063 (2020).
