My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
In Michigan, sex offenders cannot live within or work within 1000 feet of a school. These both have exceptions, which I also have questions about.
For one, how is the 1000 feet measured? Is it by the shortest distance a person can travel by foot/car? Or as the crow flies? Citation?
Additionally, the law states an offender may work in a school zone IF it is to be intermittent or sporadic. Can anyone define this a bit more specifically? The law does NOT specifically state an offender cannot OWN a business in a school zone, either, and owning a business does not necessarily imply self-employment. Opinions? Again, Citations?
