Hello All,
Does anyone know the laws regarding freedom of speech as it pertains to an author selling their own written work on a street corner/side walk. I have been harrassed by L&I in my city because I don't have a vendors license but I've been told that freedom of speech should protect me. Now is it because I am selling and not giving away my books?
I live in Philadelphia but I've checked New York laws and they allow book sellers to sell under the Freedom of Speech ammendment.
I guess my question is can city's interperit the Constitution however they see fit.
