Ithaca made an ordinance against noises that could be heard more than 25 feet away to prevent street preachers from trying to get people out of going to Hell in public. Problem: you can hear a cell phone ringtone or a sneeze 25 feet away and the law was stupid and struck down by the courts.
Round 2: another street preacher shows up and starts doing his thing. He's arrested by police who (I can hardly type for laughing so hard) said the injunction against enforcing the noise ordinance did not apply to them because they were not involved in the original case!
The proper response of course is to fire two obviously grossly incompetent policemen and just give in to the new lawsuit brought by the ADF.
