| CA: Lawsuit Challenges Tiered Registry Law Provision |
FROM ACSOL
A lawsuit was filed this week in Sacramento Superior Court challenging the application of a tiered registry law provision that has resulted in individuals being assigned to Tier 3, the highest tier, even though their felony conviction was reduced to a misdemeanor. Specifically, the lawsuit is seeking relief for an individual convicted of a felony violation of Penal Code Section 288.2 that was later reduced to a misdemeanor.
According to the lawsuit, the individual should not have been assigned to Tier 3 or to any tier, but instead should have his requirement to register automatically terminated. The lawsuit seeks relief not only for one individual, but for every individual in similar circumstances.
