Individual rights are also called fundamental human rights like the right to free association as well as freedom of expression.However sometimes there is a clash when exercising these rights especially in societies polarised by conflicts.When expression of these rights lead to a possibility of public breach of law and order then the public order act comes into place.This is a law that allows the police to temporary suspend the individual right mentioned above so as to be able to maintain law and order.Curfew etc are examples of public order act.

This paper examines how the United States is a country that prides itself on the level of freedom afforded to its citizens and how freedom and the rights of the individual are two concepts that helped shape the very backbone of the country. It also discusses how the concept of public order provides a framework by which most citizens can operate. In particular, it looks at what happens when there is a clash between individual rights and public order in the context of sex- offendernotification rules. It concludes that the safety of the community should and must take precedence over the sex offender's individual right to privacy.
