Does a city ordinance prohibiting the parking of vehicles for the purpose of sale on public property prevent me from having a "for sale" sign on my vehicle while parked in the college campus parking lot while I am attending class?
I have a copy of the city ordinance.
My request for Administrative Review based on: Selective Enforcement (other cars in the
campus parking lot have business
signs although I did not include
such photos with my request for
revies
Civil Rights (interference with commerce)
First Amendment Right violation (I
included a couple of Supreme Court
Cases about this one)
I lost on my review. Now, I must pay the fine in order to get a hearing date (which I take exception to because I think it's admitting guilt). The nearest hearing date is in August. I could request a hearing by mail which the clerk said takes less time. Then, if I win, it will take 6 to 8 weeks to get my fine (62.00 which goes up to about 120 after June 7th) If I lose the hearing, I can request a trial date.
I just heard of yet another citizen who was cited for the same reason. I think this is a matter of public interest. I think the ordinance is too vague. Should I file an injunction against the city to prevent further enformement of this ordinance-will this bring it to trial? This needs to be "fixed" and I would appreciate any help. My husband has been applying for jobs out of state, so even though time is an issue, I want to fight this.
Thank you,
