Court rules Pennsylvania borough ordinance cracking down on lawn signs is unconstitutional
Fox News
A federal appeals court has ruled against a Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, ordinance aimed at cutting down on the abundance of political lawn signs.
In the 11-page decision, Judge Stephanos Bibas rejected the borough's arguments that its 2021 ordinance only regulated the "time, place and manner" of signs. Rather, the ordinance discriminates between types of content, is overly broad and lacks a compelling enough reason to encroach on free speech rights, Bibas wrote.
As proof of the ordinance's regulation of content, the borough sought to impose stricter limits on noncommercial signs, such as political signs, than commercial or holiday signs, Bibas wrote.
