ESCONDIDO POLICE VIOLATE PROTESTERS’ FREE SPEECH
January 20, 2011

SAN DIEGO – The Escondido Police Department violated checkpoint protesters’ First Amendment right to free speech by forcing them to move from a public sidewalk near a highway exit ramp, according to a demand letter sent to the City of Escondido by the ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties today. The police incorrectly cited a code applying to vendors, not peaceful protesters exercising their constitutional right to free speech. Sidewalks near exits are frequently used by candidates campaigning for political office, among other protected expressive activity.

This is from Today:

June 1, 2011

SAN DIEGO – The California Highway Patrol has improperly been informing demonstrators protesting Escondido checkpoints that their signs are prohibited by the California Vehicle Code, the San Diego ACLU charged in a letter sent to the CHP by mail last Thursday. The CHP is violating the checkpoint protesters’ First Amendment right to free speech by forcing them to move from a public sidewalk near a highway exit ramp, an event captured on video by one of the protesters.

The San Diego ACLU sent a similar demand letter to the Escondido Police Department in January. The vehicle code cited by both EPD and CHP is not intended to quash speech; it refers to vendors selling goods near freeway on- and off-ramps.
