An Inclusive Litany
2/3/92
After bystanders were wounded during a gang shootout in Las Palmas
Park in San Fernando, California, gang members were banned from the
park. The American Civil Liberties Union challenged the ban as a
violation of the constitutional right to free assembly. The measure
requires police to make lists of gang members and inform them that
they are banned from the park; former gang members would be allowed to
re-enter the park only after formally renouncing membership.
