§52.2001 Intent And Purpose
It is the intent of the City Council in enacting Section 52.2002 to adopt a limited prohibition against targeted residential picketing. In Frisby v. Schultz, 487 U.S. 474 (1988), the Supreme Court upheld a similar municipal ordinance banning all picketing in front of a particular residence to protect the inhabitants from hearing or seeing unwanted messages. Section 52.2002 prohibits picketing focused on and taking place in front of a particular residence. The limited purpose of the prohibition is to preclude intrusion upon the constitutionally protected privacy rights of the targeted resident.
