Heading: Rights Afforded by the Maine Constitution

Text: [¶70] The Does urge us to establish a fundamental right to privacy, a right to protection of reputation, and a right to fundamental fairness under article I, section 1 of the Maine Constitution. We have already held that SORNA of 1999 33 does not implicate fundamental rights of privacy and reputation under the Maine Constitution in the context of the Does’ procedural and substantive due process claims. We also decline to expand our interpretation of Maine’s Constitution to include a generalized right to “fundamental fairness.” See Bagley, 1999 ME 60, ¶ 13, 728 A.2d 127 (“[W]e have traditionally exercised great restraint when asked to interpret our state constitution to afford greater protections than those recognized under the federal constitution.” (quotation marks omitted)).
