Morgan's Law - Victim's Rights for Protection Orders

This petition was published by Tanya Davis on May 31, 2012

We, the undersigned, call on the State Legislature of South Dakota to better address victim's rights in cases where protection orders are being filed.

We ask that criminal history, especially the violation of previous protection orders be disclosed to protection order petitioners.

We also ask, at victim request and Court concurrence that offenders be required to wear monitoring devices.

We recognize that tens of thousands of protection orders are filed annually in the State and monitoring is not possible in all cases.

We would ask the Court to use their discretion, along with victim request to pinpoint cases where monitoring devices may help to deter criminal action.

We believe these are relatively simple steps that can be taken to protect and safeguard human life.
