People v. Morger

Summary

The court held that the statutory probation condition categorically barring every probationer convicted of a qualifying sex offense from accessing or using social-networking websites was facially unconstitutional under the First Amendment because it was overbroad and insufficiently tailored. Although the defendant's completed sentence rendered the case moot, the court applied the public-interest exception because the issue was important, likely to recur, and required authoritative guidance. The court reversed the appellate judgment in part and vacated the challenged probation condition while affirming the judgment on unchallenged issues.
