Appeals court upholds ‘orange sticker’ ordinance in Narragansett

January 7, 2011

NARRAGANSETT–Rejecting the ACLU’s legal arguments, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit upheld the constitutionality of the Town of Narragansett’s highly-publicized 2005 “orange sticker” ordinance on Wednesday. However, in upholding the ordinance on its face, the court acknowledged that it could still be subject to constitutional challenge in its application to particular cases, and the ACLU plans to go back to court to pursue those challenges.
