West Chester, PA — West Chester Borough is already involved in litigation over the constitutionality of their Noise Ordinance. Technically speaking it is illegal to play a guitar in West Chester under the noise ordinance. In fact, you can not play any instrument in West Chester.

This is in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States of America. Specifically, the First and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee freedom of speech and expression.

The new ordinance passed today, October 18, 2016 will violate the Constitution even further by regulating:
acting, singing, playing musical instruments, pantomime, juggling, magic, dancing, reading aloud, puppetry and reciting.

So now that I am emailing and writing Police departments and District Attorneys’ offices, is my freedom and life in Danger?

A resident of Orange County is asking the same questions as a resident of West Chester, PA — are the police and business owners using unconstitutional laws to commit hate crimes?

The Orange County Police Departments have a war on the homeless going on. The Police are having an influence on City Council meetings to the point of passing Unconstitutional laws against the Homeless People. No RV Parking in Dana Point and San Clemente city limits. How Quaint!

The wealthy people that live along the Beaches pay too much property taxes, for the God given land. Looking and seeing that many homeless, and weekenders have no choice but to sleep in their vehicles, due to, no vacancy in campgrounds, hotels, motels, and other dwelling places on the weekends.

Many of the wealthy residences that own houses on the beach, limit beach access.

The West Chester Borough Council is trying to pass yet another unconstitutional law that would allow them to arrest street musicians: West Chester Plans to Restrict Singing & Dancing,

MOTION TO DECLARE WEST CHESTER ORDINANCE § 73-1 B (1) (B) UNCONSTITUTIONAL

WEST CHESTER, PA — The West Chester Borough Noise Ordinance is being called into question after several West Chester Police officers have used the ordinance to justify harassment, hate crimes and civil rights violations against street musicians.

Over the past several months, two musicians have been physically assaulted and arrested by West Chester Police Officers. Scores of other citations have been issued under the Borough’s noise ordinance.

One citizen who has been cited on three different occasions, was not even playing music or making noise. The individual was found not guilty in all cases, but suffered financial loss in fighting the corrupt police officers. The same person has been stalked, harassed and threatened by police officers for having filed complaints against the police officers.

On October 5, 2016, the defendant was found not guilty of a noise violation in the Court Of Common Pleas. Part of the trial included a motion to dismiss:
“The ordinance is overbroad, on its face and as applied to defendant in that it prohibits constitutionally protected expressive activity.”

The lawyer for the defendant brought a guitar into the courtroom and proved it was impossible to play the guitar under the ordinance.

“The ordinance violates the freedoms of expression as guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 1 § 7 of the Pennsylvania Constitution.”

After the hearing the Judge said, “I wish I could have found him guilty, so that I could rule on the constitutionality of the ordinance.”
