§Laws Actually Made Much Worse in 2002 for Street Performers

Actually the restrictive laws were passed in spite of extensive hearings at the Downtown Commission. Though no permits were required, the 22-year-old Voluntary Street Performers Guidelines were thrown out by the Riley-Porter "Move Along Every Hour" law passed by City Council. It severely limited street performer location as well as giving police a tool to harass political tablers and panhandlers.

See Santa Cruz Sentinel's deceptively labeled story at http://santacruz.indymedia.org/newswire/display/2658/index.php

Recently police have taken to use the Unreasonably Disturbing Noises law ("Sinister Street Singers Cited on Sidewalk" at http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/01/20/18635743.php ).
