Doe v. Moore.

U.S. Appeals Court

DNA

Doe v. Moore, 410 F.3d 1337 (11th Cir. 2005). Florida sex offenders filed a class action challenging the constitutionality of Florida's sex offender registration and notification scheme and its DNA collection statute. The district court dismissed the action and the offenders appealed. The appeals court affirmed, finding that the registration and notification scheme did not violate the offenders' substantive due process rights or the Equal Protection Clause. The court found that the Sex Offender Act did not unreasonably burden the offenders' right to travel. The court also held that the DNA collection statute did not give rise to substantive due process rights. (State of Florida)
