How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • concluding that the effects inquiry does not include consideration of illegal reactions by the public
  • holding that convicted sex offenders have no right of privacy preventing a state from requiring them to register as such and be subject to community notification of their residences
  • concluding that Washington’s registration law did not deny sexual offenders due process because there is no privacy interest in the information disseminated and, thus, no liberty interest
  • holding that Washington’s sex offender neighborhood notification law, which “is tailored to help the community protect itself from sexual predators under the guidance of law enforcement, not to punish sex offenders,” serves a remedial purpose
  • stating that an analysis of privacy rights does not assume a diminished expectation of privacy simply because the individual was previously convicted of a crime
  • noting that “[s]ome persons who have not been convicted of a sex offense may be subject to notification' — those incompetent to stand trial, or committed as sexual psychopaths or sexually violent predators, for example”
