Wrong. The fine was not about “parking” or “noise” or disturbance of any kind.

And if anyone bothered to read the article, you would have seen that it is not the issue.

The UNCONSTITUTIONAL statute reads as such.

City officials in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. say Chuck and Stephanie Fromm are in violation of municipal code 9-3.301, which prohibits “religious, fraternal or non-profit” organizations in residential neighborhoods without a permit. Stephanie hosts a Wednesday Bible study that draws about 20 attendees, and Chuck holds a Sunday service that gets about 50.

First Amendment:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

It is a violation of the Constitution, and Liberty 1970, at least, salutes it. Amazing how far we’ve fallen.

I said the other issue was about parking.
In this case it appears the city defined the group as a church and churches need “use permits”.
I disagree with that assessment. They have good people fighting this is court for them.
The other event, the city backed down.

Nonsense. The Constitution is a charter document for the U.S. Federal government. These city officials could have hauled the couple out and raped and shot them, and they wouldn't have violated the Constitution. Only Federal agents/officials can do that. The city officials would have broken other laws, but not the U.S. Constitution because it places no restrictions on local governments. (Rather the opposite - cf. the 9th amendment.)

According to who? What these people told this news source?

According to the article, they've likely got upwards of 30 or 40 plus vehicles coming into their neighborhood twice every week...That's 8 times a month...lol

Ya don't think this is starting to piss off the neighbors?

Get real.
