Original ArticleSo where is the ACLU on this? No other criminal has to pay a fee to maintain a registry or their criminal records, so why force ex-offenders to pay an extortion fee?

LANSING - Sex Offenders will have to pay a fee to maintain the sex offender registry in Michigan. On Tuesday Governor Snyder signed into a law a measure that charges registered sex offenders $50 a year for as long as they are required to be on the sex offender registry. The law was sponsored by Senator Rick Jones of Grand Ledge.
"This law will help reduce taxpayer costs to maintain Michigan's sex offender registry," Gov. Rick Snyder said in a statement sent to the media. "By requiring registered sex offenders to pay an annual fee to fund the registry website, law enforcement will be able to direct more of its resources to public safety."
- The tax payers and idiotic politicians are the ones who want the registry and draconian laws, so they should be the ones who pay this fee. You don't force other criminals to pay an extortion fee!
Previously, registered sex offenders only had to pay a one-time fee, which only provided enough revenue to cover about 10 percent of the cost to maintain the state's sex offender registry, according to the Governor's office.
- We though this is what the Byrne Grants were for?
