MONTPELIER, Vt. -- The weekend shooting deaths of two men on Maine's sex offender registry are prompting calls for Vermont's online system to be taken down.
The American Civil Liberties Union's state chapter argues that the online registry could lead to a similar situation.
"This is a stark reminder that there's no evidence that online sex offender registries increase public safety," said Allen Gilbert, executive director of the Vermont ACLU. "In fact, they might just do the opposite."
