Re: “A monkey wrench in cities’ panhandling laws,” Oct. 3 editorial.


Judge Christine Arguello’s writhing ruling that panhandling is really speech about poverty — thus protected by the First Amendment — may have unintended consequences. Is speeding and weaving in and out of traffic lanes merely speech about a road closure causing one to be late to a doctor appointment?
