"A federal judge on Thursday temporarily suspended a city ordinance that banned some sex offenders from coming within 1,000 feet (300 meters) of parks, playgrounds and other sites when children are present.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Young granted a preliminary injunction to several sex offenders who sued Indianapolis after the City-County Council passed the ordinance in May.
The ordinance constitutes a form of retroactive punishment prohibited by law, Young found, and was too vague. Young also ruled that it hindered the right to vote for one sex offender whose polling place is in a school and within 1,000 feet (300 meters) of a playground.
