Re: City Ordinances
City Ordinances can be jailable offenses. They are generally comparable to second degree misdemeanors. However, free speech is generally protected, unless it impacts upon serious policy concerns. If you'd like a consultation regarding your matter, please feel free to call me 407-679-3823.
