Dietrich believes the language is ambiguous and places far too much control into the hands of one city employee. “This entire section is a violation of the 1st Amendment, relating to commercial free speech. This amendment does not pass the Central Hudson Test, which is a four-pronged test established by the Supreme Court to determine if a regulation actually satisfies the 1st Amendment.”
