Town's Anti-Solicitation Policy Ruled Unconstitutional

"Had the ordinance been more narrowly and specifically written, it might have withstood scrutiny, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority. But it is clear, he said, that the statute does not just protect residents against aggressive fund-solicitors and salesmen but could be deployed against political campaigners, neighbors calling on neighbors to enlist support for a better garbage collector, even Halloween trick-or-treaters."
