Judge Nixes South C arolina Law Over Adult Business Billboards

»  Comments | Post a Comment

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A federal judge has ruled that a South
Carolina law limiting the placement of billboards advertising adult
businesses is unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie issued the order last
week.
In 2006, the Legislature pass a law banning billboards
advertising adult-oriented businesses from being placed within a
mile of public roads.
The owner of the Lion's Den, an adult bookstore along Interstate
26 in Orangeburg County, sued the Legislature last year. The
company said the law violated the business' right to free speech.
Attorney General Henry McMaster represented the state in this
lawsuit. Neither his office nor an attorney for the Lion's Den
immediately returned messages seeking comment.
