NY – Motel Owner sues city over limit on number of registrants that can live there.
A very, very, very nice owner of a Motel in the town of New Paltz in upstate NY is suing the city over a recent ordinance that limits the number of registered sex offenders who can reside at his motel.
The lawsuit, Case #: EF2021‑857 filed in Ulster County Supreme Court, seeks to have the ordinance declared unconstitutional. The owners of the motel have had an arrangement with the Ulster County Department of Social Services for 15 years, but when notifications went out to a local State University of New York Campus recently, the town got up-in-arms and complained.
Among a restriction on the number of registrants who can live at the motel, the town also requires the business owners to obtain a special license (that costs over $1500) if they want to house persons required to register.
Good, I hope he wins, because this is an example of politicians overstepping their bounds with citizens land rights. Little by little, the political parties remove more and more rights from people, in hopes they will blindly and obediently follow them. This whole situation isn’t about public health, it’s about control.
A special license to house people on the registry? Are you kidding me?! Property rights have been diminishing for decades now. Let’s face it you never ever own your property anyway. There is always a way for them to take it from you. But a license for “certain” people….sick.
That costs over $1500???? That in and of itself sounds like discrimination on the owners. Do any other class of people get treated like this? I see hotels that ONLY rent to hookers and johns. No one regulates them other than some arrested when they are bored or someone is a victim.
At what point does a judge either rule in our favor or send us all to offender island? (I am pitching this as a New series on Fox) it would be a reality show where you have to survive challenges on the island. The winner gets to be removed from the registry.
Comment from SA Andy Warren in the anti riot bill: Warren also claims the legislation will not improve public safety, saying “inventing new crimes and enhancing the penalties for old ones is a highly ineffective and imprudent way to improve public safety.”
Id like to sue the State of Florida, for compliance’s added long after my two years completed end of sentence. Sue um to point of crashing the whole SORA, as nothing but feel good unconstitutional banishment.
