Myrtle Beach helmet law gets airing in top court - Local - The Sun News
I have so much to say about this I don't even know where to begin. Myrtle Beach passed laws aimed at a specific group of people and made it known it was towards them and to prevent them from doing what they have been doing for years. Now we will get to see how legal their actions were.
The U.S. Supreme court has ruled in cases where an individual or a group of individuals unfairly had rules in place that only targeted them and it was determined DISCRIMINATION. The U.S. Supreme Court has also ruled on cases where a certain group of people were told where they could go and when they could be there and it was determined DISCRIMINATION.
How does the City of Myrtle Beach comply with state law when they pass laws discriminating against a group of individuals, when the same law does not exist statewide. They have basically told bikers you are welcome to come into our city and spend your money as long as you wear a helmet, don't ride in groups, and oh ya don't come in month of May. If this is not a form of discrimination then somebody needs to tell the U.S. Supreme Court and everybody else who thinks they have the meaning of discrimination that they are wrong.
If SC State Supreme Court allows these convictions and laws to stand then they are in some serious trouble within that state. This will allow any municipality to pass laws to target individuals or groups regardless what state law is. Will we start seeing ridiculous laws created targeting specific people to create a revenue to help with the shortfall of money in the budget? It's possible if it is not stopped now.
