GRAND RAPIDS, MI A now seven-year court battle involving Grand Rapids police detaining and taking photos and fingerprints of two Black teens who faced no charges is headed to the Michigan Supreme Court.
The state’s highest court agreed this past week to hear an appeal by the American Civil Liberties Union in the cases of then-15-year-old Denishio Johnson and then-16-year-old Keyon Harrison, both of whom were stopped by police in separate incidents in 2011 and 2012.
Whitmer bill signings include tightened sex offender registration protocols, boosts in medical staffing

LANSING, MI - Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s major signing Tuesday was the partial approval of a COVID-19 relief supplemental equaling $106 million. Later on Dec. 29, though, she inked a series of other bills.
The governor ratified more than 80 bits of legislation to immediate effect, notably the tightening of registration protocols for sex offenders and the loosening of license restrictions to boost medical staffing to fight COVID-19 surges.
The approval of changes to the state’s Sex Offender Registration Act fulfills a 4-year-old mandate from the U.S. Court of Appeals, which ruled that it was unconstitutional to impose new restrictions on people convicted before the Act was updated.

LANSING The Legislature approved changes last week to Michigan’s sex offender registry after federal courts declared the current policy unconstitutional.
The new rules, approved by the Senate on Wednesday, would change aspects of registering and eliminate bans on living or being within 1,000 feet of schools. It also would give an offender seven days to register upon conviction.
U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland had ruled that some changes in the current registry law made in the last two decades were too vague or impossible to enforce and therefore unconstitutional. A federal appeals court in 2016 said Michigan was treating people as “moral lepers” by imposing excessive restrictions.
