Do you really think that criminals would go get a permit before casing a neighborhood? Should trick or treaters get a permit before knocking doors? I wish I could take credit for the great questions asked above, but they were actually funny comments made by supreme court justices when ruling 8 to 1 in favor of the Jehova Whitnesses in their case against the city of Scranton Ohio. The ruling said that requiring permits for door-to-door solicitation of any kind, limits free speech and is a breach of the first ammendment. I just don't know why each little community has not gotten the memo from the supreme court. See the City of Scranton v. the Watchtower Bible Society.
