Re:Contractor's licenses??
My way of thinking&is that they have jurisdiction if you go and get the permit or license but until then they don't.
I have a ruling that spells it out pretty good.
An ordinance which...makes the peaceful enjoyment of freedoms which the Constitution guarantees contigent upon the uncontrolled will of an official--as by requiring a permit or license which may be granted or withheld in the discretion of such official---is an unconstitutional censorship or prior restraint upon the enjoyment of those freedoms. And our desisions have made clear that a person faced with such an unconstitutional licensing law may igonore it and engage with impunity in the exercise of the right of free expression for which the law purports to require a license. ~~SHUTTLESWORTH cv. CITY OF BIRMINGHAM AL
The other day I looked up this case at the Law Library and did find it but couldn't find this exact quote. Shuttlesworth was quite an activist so there was more than one case.&Has anyone else looked up this case?
Also what the heck does cv stand for?
