As we learned in our reading this week, the Supreme Court has held that the First Amendment allows regulation of speech, including placing restrictions on the time, place, and manner of such speech.

REMINDER:Warrensburg'sCity Code is available in Blackboard under the External Links.

CITATIONS:Please cite thesection number (or numbers) that answer your question. E.g., "section 5.42" (as an example) would be fine. Pleasedo not cite the "ordinance" number. For example, at the bottom of section 5.42, you will find language about the history of the section. For section 5.42, the code says: "Ord. No. 3689, 1, 12-18-01." That language is really just a historical notation for how and when Section 5.42 became an ordinance. It means on December 28, 2001, the city council voted on an passed anordinance(number 3689), and that section 1 of theordinanceis the part that relates to dog vaccinations.. Theordinance, after being passed, became "law" and was then "codified" (placed into) theWarrensburgCity Code as Section 5.42.In short, in answering the questions for the assignment, please give me the section (not theordinancesnumbers for the section).

TIP: You can search the code based on text, but there is also a handy table of contents that helps make this assignment easier.

1.) Assume you are a PR professional (with a very limited budget) that wants to promote your client's new company by posting leaflets on utility poles in the City ofWarrensburg. Which section would limit your ability to engage in this type of marketing? (1 point)

2.) Your client has come up with some more funds for its marketing campaign, and now wants to place some small signs in the City's parks. The signs will advertise your client's objections to a new local ordinance. But you've learned that the posting of signs isprohibited in certain place.Which section would limit your ability to engage in this type of marketing? (1 point)

3) Assume now that you are a PR professional that has been hired by an animal advocacy group that wants to hold a protest during a UCM football game. The group objects to UCM's use of a live mule, which stands on the field for hours in front of a loud crowd and is occasionally spooked by the cheers. The group wants to use a loudspeaker to announce its message from a park that is near a church that will be holding a religious service while the football game is played. Are you concerned about violating any section(s) of the City Ordinances? Which ones? (1 point)

4.) Now, while protesting the football game, the group has grown to a sizable number (definitelymore than 6 persons). The group is now spilling out onto a public road, and causing a traffic jam (e.g., congregating in such a way to halt the flow of traffic). Further, the group may be blocking access to a private driveway. Are you violating any section(s) of the city's ordinances? Which one(s)? (1 point).

5.) Now, the protest has grown rather large and is becoming a riot. You refer to theWarrensburgCity Code, which you, as a well-trained PR professional, carried with you to the event. Reading the crumpled, well-used copy of your code, you conclude your protest has reached the point of being an unlawful assembly. TheWarrensburgpolice now arrive, and ask you to end your protest,disperse, and move to a different location. What section of theWarrensburgCode might the officer read to you in support of his instructions that you and your group need to disperse? (1 point).

6.) You handled the situation very well, and everyone went home peacefully. UCM's live mule is being handled with care, and your advocacy group client is pleased with the animal's treatment. One of the members comes to you with a different idea. She is concerned that many people simply don't appreciate some of the issues that are affecting animals in theWarrensburgcommunity, and wants to install a 24 hours, 7-day a week loudspeaker outside the organization's offices inWarrensburg, which is located in a residential area. Every 15 minutes, the loudspeaker will provide informational bulletins on the plight of certain animals in theWarrensburgcommunity. Your client really wants this loudspeaker to be heard, and tell you it needs to be loud enough to be heard more than 100 feet away. Are there any City Code sections that might limit when the times when the loudspeaker could be played? Which ordinance(s)? (1 point).

7.) As a follow up to the last question,does your client need a permit from thechiefof policefor the loudspeaker activity? Under what code section, if any, would a permit be required? (1 point)

8) Your reputation has grown as the go-to PR professional for advocacy groups who want to host events in college towns. A different group has contacted you, and wants to host a public dance to generate awareness about theunderuseofWarrensburg'sAmtrak service. The group believes the train is a better alternative to commuting than using a private vehicle betweenWarrensburgand Kansas City. The group wants to host the public dance at the public parking lot (so that its in a public place) near the downtown Amtrak station. What city code sections, if any, might apply to this event? (1 point)

9) As a follow-up to the last question, are you required to obtain a license for the public dance? If so, what section of code applies? (1 point).

10) One of your advertising clients owns a local bank in town. This client support wants to generate awareness about the under use ofWarrensburg'sAmtrak services. Your client already has one electronic sign on its property (which advertises interest rates and states the current time and temperature), but wants to add an electronic message center to encourage UCM students to save money, re-finance their student loans, and also study hard while riding the rails to campus. Which city ordinance applies to the bank's request to have more than one electronic sign or message center?
