SF Gate article on Prop 83, which is a voter passed law saying that sex criminals may not live within 2,000 feet of a school or park. Basically it's talking about how the ruling doesn't apply retroactively. We had a huge argument about this in Criminal Law last semester. Of course we want to keep our children and families safe, but these sex offenders have served their time for their crimes. Constitutionally, this seems like the right thing to do and I agree with it. My shock came with the knowledge that there are apparently 90,000 California registered sex offenders.
