  • RM380: SCOTUS Limits Police Phone Tracking

    This week on Registry Matters: Florida has passed a law making it illegal for registrants to speak to minors in public, raising alarming First Amendment free speech questions. Then, a Louisiana man spent 179 days in jail over charges that were ultimately dropped, exposing how registry and probation systems can inflict devastating errors with zero accountability. Finally, the Supreme Court has ruled that geofence warrants constitute Fourth Amendment searches, a landmark decision protecting cell phone location privacy from warrantless police tracking.

        • RM378: Prosecuted for Trying to Stay Compliant

          This week on Registry Matters: A Michigan Supreme Court ruling forces the state to vacate convictions under an unconstitutional registry law, offering hope to registrants who were prosecuted for trying to stay compliant. Plus, we explore whether requesting a new parole officer is a realistic option — and why filing official complaints can often make your situation worse.

                  This week on Registry Matters: New Mexico authorities face scrutiny for enforcing registration laws that don’t actually apply to a registrant, plus we examine whether Missouri’s blanket travel notification requirement constitutes unconstitutionally broad compelled speech. We also hear the sobering story of a registered person who submitted 700 job applications without a single hire, and discuss a Nevada Supreme Court ruling that lifetime supervision can end without completing the full registration period.

                                  This week on Registry Matters: North Carolina officers lose qualified immunity after arresting a registrant who was following their own instructions to travel — a stunning case of law enforcement accountability. Plus, we dig into Meta’s $375 million verdict and why the real story isn’t the fine, but the expanding surveillance infrastructure being built in the name of protecting children.

                                  This week on Registry Matters: Mississippi legislators push a bill imposing the death penalty for child sexual battery — a penalty they know is unconstitutional — in a deliberate attempt to challenge Supreme Court precedent. Also on the docket, North Carolina’s court upholds mandatory online identifier reporting for registrants, a college basketball star’s own phone evidence leads to felony drug charges, and an inmate tries to pay his court bond with counterfeit bills and tells the judge to keep the change.
