Yet another encroachment on our freedoms

[kandrathe]

... ignore the inconvenience to and rights of your neighbors ...

Ostensibly, they are parking on the public streets or on the pastors property, not on the neighbors private property.

So, two questions;

Why would the county need you to "register for a permit to assemble", rather than "register to park a bunch of cars on the public street"? From a "freedom" point of view, I wouldn't support the former, but would understand the latter. Especially, when a government official comes to a private home asking what types of activities are occurring within the residence.

Why would the county care about parking if the cars are legally parked on the street? If the street does allow public parking, then what is all the hullabaloo? If the street does not allow public parking, or requires parking with a permit, then it seems the attendees must be held accountable for any legal deficiencies.

I think the issue really is an encroachment on the freedom of assembly. Whether it be political, or religious, it seems to be a repression of a basic freedom. The freedom to party.
