Some of them have been thrown out by the higher courts, either 'state or federal. Like the guy back in the 60's who wanted to start a cable TV business in southern California. Every movie theatre had a petition in their lobbys to prevent him from doing it. and hunderwds of thousands of movie goers signed it. Not only that, but the stupid California voters voted for it! Of course, the California Supreme Court threw it out. (His cable business didn't take away anyone's rights. If he came to your door and asked you if you wanted him to deliver a cable signal to your house, all you had to do was say, "No", and slam the door in his face. Ande, if your neighbor had one delivered to his living room, You wouldn't even know it, so it wouldn't hurt you in the least) But millions of California voters pulled the lever on "no" for that poor guy, and it cost him a bundle to fight it to the state supreme court..... Go figure..... People haven't a clue as to what the Constitution is all about. And by, "people" I also mean our legislaters.... |

Here in Nova Scotia we fought the hands free law when it was written and had
Amateur radio excepted from the law. |
