Sex Offender Registry Found Unconstitutional

For all those convicted of a crime for their entire lives?
Well, that does it.....I'm not moving to Indiana....no matter how much you & @Shadow Wolf praise it.
Yup. Because of this Conservative **** hole, you can go to any court house here and discover I actually have four speeding tickets on my record, rather than just the one that wasn't dismissed through pre-trial diversion, that one that would show up for insurance companies or potential employers if they searched my record from any source other than a court house.
For a state that likes to go on and on about Christian values this and Christian morality that, they have an absolutely abysmal record when it comes to that "forgive and forget" thing Jesus taught and instead are all about the "crime and punishment" featured in the OT.

Can you honestly say that you haven't broken speeding laws more than 4 times?

Ugh.
So do you think court records differ from the sex offender registry somehow?
it is even worse based upon the argument presented by the judge in the OP.

not only is the guilty parties name, address, etc. is readily available for anyone taking the time to look it up, so is the name, address, etc. of the victim.

I've done it more than four times. But it should only be there once in my record once (I paid extra for it to be this way), but it's actually in there more than that.

Pretrial diversionary program. Howard county cost lots of extra, and Miami and Grant county are so little extra it's dumb to not.
"Deferred adjudication begins after a defendant has pleaded guilty or nolo contendere. ... Instead, like a pretrial diversion, the court will lay out a number of conditions that the defendant must meet. If the defendant meets the conditions, the charges are dismissed and the defendant will not have a record of conviction."​

The record of you being charged is still available, that the charges were dropped should be included in the record, but that requires digging into the record itself.
