No Constitutional Right To Honk Your Car Horn, Court Says
Reason | April 17, 2023 | Elizabeth Nolan BrownA federal appeals court says honking isn’t First Amendment–protected activity. There’s no constitutional right to honk your car horn, according to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
The case involves Susan Porter, who repeatedly honked her car horn while driving past protesters in California in 2017. A deputy with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office issued Porter a ticket, saying she had violated a state law against misuse of car horns.
California isn’t alone in restricting expressive honking.
Honk if you love lawyers?
Both Obama’s and both Clinton’s are lawyers. I ain’t honking ever again now.
You better watch who you’re calling honky…
Probably Constitutional if you honked at the wrong (Right?) protestors.
