Fortunately, the present ordinance is not being enforced. Will the police enforce the new ordinance? We don't know. If we are going to set a noise level limit for First Amendment activities, why not m...

This ordinance will make virtually every protest using a bullhorn illegal in San Francisco. That leaves it up to the police to decide whether or not to enforce the law.
I do not think any public comment will be allowed at this meeting, so the only thing we can do now is call and write the Supervisors....
