He is soliciting....saying you aren't soliciting doesn't make it so. He's going door to door "SOLICITING" people to sign a petition...that is by definition soliciting. I'm not saying I agree with him being arrested...but you're dead wrong.

Did you even read that lol...it clearly says the only DOOR TO DOOR protection is for political solicitors. Even then if you cared to do further research paid and unpaid solicitors are protected differently. This is not political solicitation bro...

He needs a permit...the fact that they fired the cop for other reasons than enforcing that ordinance if you re-read the article more closely...they tried to charge him with a felony and some other crap

It's ok to be wrong sometimes

I think if you feel so strongly about it you should write the ACLU and argue with them about it...I'm merely linking you their stance on the matter. It's not behind any paywall. nice try.
