SUPREME COURT NEWS - FIRST AMENDMENT ATTACK UPON ARIZONA HARASSMENT STATUTE - Sheriff Joe not happy
Scott Huminski v. City of Surprise, Arizona
United States Supreme Court -,Docket 13-7504
Washington D.C.
In a filing received by the U.S. Supreme Court, government is portrayed fervently defending a state criminal harassment statute that makes any speech contrary to the government's goals and ideals a crime under.AZ Rev. Stat. § 13-2921 (criminal harassment).
Speech that tends to "alarm, annoy or harass" anyone, including government officials and police, is a crime in Arizona. Silencing dissent is the hallmark of a police state.
