The U.S. District Court issued a ruling on the case of Daniel Fullmer vs. the Michigan Department of State Police Monday. In the decision, U.S. District Judge Victoria A. Roberts ruled that the Michigan Sex Offenders Registration Act is unconstitutional under the 14th Ammendment in the U.S. Constitution, according to a statement made by State Police Director Col. Stephen D. Madden.
The Michigan Sex Offenders Internet site was reportedly deactivated at 8:28 a.m. in response to the ruling. State police are reviewing the ruling with the Michigan Attorney General's Office to determine the scope of the ruling and what additional steps are necessary.
