A homeless man who was arrested after asking a policeman for a dollar got a judge to throw out the case by arguing that begging is a form of free speech. Judge Gail Rice made the ruling after Eric Hoffstead had his lawyer cite a 15 year old federal court decision saying New York states loitering law violated First Amendment protections. This is a great victory for freedom of speech, said Hoffsteads Lawyer, Carl Birman. Hoffstead was still in the county jail Thursday on a separate trespassing charge. The 1992 case applied specifically to enforcement in New York City, and the state law, which prohibits begging in a public place, had never been changed. I keep little articles like this... it came from my paper in 2007. Very small?.. but very powerful decision by a woman judge.... Hurrah.. Free Speech won.
