Federal judge bars retroactive residency restrictions on California sex offenders
Michael Sung at 11:21 AM ET
[JURIST] US District Judge Lawrence Karlton [official profile] ruled in California Friday that the state's Proposition 83 [text, PDF; JURIST news archive] could not be applied retroactively to sex offenders released before its approval because there was nothing in the measure that indicated that intent. The measure prohibits registered sex offenders [JURIST news archive] from "residing within 2,000 feet of any public or private school or park where children regularly gather."
*** The ACLU is still fighting it, so someone did something right.
