NOTE: The BROAD BASED comment "However, information provided by convicted sex offenders is often submitted intentionally in error." is an example of a comment which misleads the public, and further stigmatizes the registrants. Especially given it is broadcast worldwide, and implying (without evidence) that ALL registrants are liars. (Libel/Slander Issue)
Current registry law (Michigan Compiled Law 28.725a(5) and (6)) requires every registrant to bring a valid Driver's License or State ID" and 2 other documents to prove current residence (voter registration, utility bills, or other current bills)" when the registrant comes in every 90 days. The law also requires the official who accepts an initial registration(usually it comes from the sentencing court, the prison, or some other state official, and rarely from a sex offender) to "verify, by state computer, the conviction information."
The purpose of the comment is??? You be the judge...
