Ken Falk, legal director for the ACLU of Indiana, told The Associated Press that the law meant that officers could demand at any time to look at the computers of those who had been restored their civil rights.

The class-action lawsuit had two original plaintiffs. One was a Marion County man using the name “John Doe” who had been convicted of child molesting.

The other was a Scott County man who had convictions for child molesting and sexual misconduct with a minor.

Both were required to register for life as sex offenders, the suit said, and had concerns about the privacy of financial and business information on their computers.
