United States Sixth Circuit

In an action against a town and police chief alleging that a section of the town's traffic code constitutes an unconstitutional restriction on commercial speech, specifically "For Sale" signs on cars, summary judgment for defendants is reversed as defendants failed to produce evidence that justifies the restrictions on commercial speech imposed by the ordinance.
