A recently retired schoolteacher is suing his Pennsylvania borough over a local ordinance after he was found guilty of putting a "for sale" sign on his legally parked car.

"We put you in office as judges and state representatives to protect our rights," Will Cramer told Fox News Digital. "And when we see things like giving people tickets for putting a for-sale sign in their car – violating our First Amendment right – it's sad."

He teamed up with the Institute for Justice, filing a lawsuit on April 9 seeking a permanent injunction prohibiting his borough of Nazareth from enforcing the ordinance "against a traditional, low-cost, and effective form of personal commercial speech."

I wonder who gave the guy a ticket in the first place. A police officer or a code enforcement officer, for sure. Tough guy cracking down in crime.

This is another example of what’s driving a wedge between good citizens and their government. The little sign wasn’t doing anyone any harm. Put a warning notice on the truck, and let the owner investigate the ordinance.

They should ticket all those little wuss cars with the “COEXIST” bumper stickers, on them since the onners are selling pure bull squat.

I don’t want to go to FOX but am curious. Did they want him to buy a permit? Claiming it was a commercial business in a residential zone?

What was “their” justification?
