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.

No surprise that this statute exists in Arizona. Under the patently unconstitutionally vague and overbroad Arizona harassment statute, this Supreme Court litigation is a crime as is this article when read by a resident of Arizona, say … Sheriff Joe Arpaio. No doubt that the litigation and this posting tends to "annoy" the Sheriff and like-minded residents of Arizona.
