Trucker Hats: First Amendment Protection

<span style='color:pink'>Trucker Hats: First Amendment Protection

How did we all miss last week's US District Court ruling in Mastrovincenzo v. City of New York? Two "graffiti artists" named Mastro and Nac got an injunction against the city; they sell tagged trucker hats on the street without a license, and argued (successfully!) that, as art, they're protected by the First Amendment. Says the court:

 

  • Plaintiffs offer for sale in public places without a license articles of clothing that they individually decorate with text and images in what they label a graffiti style. [...] Both Plaintiffs paint articles of clothing, especially hats, using paint pens and spray cans, and sell them from sidewalk displays. [...] Each charges between $10 and $100 per hat.

 

See, they don't need a license, because, somehow, taking a sharpie to a trucker hat makes it art. The real question: why aren't we all downtown demonstrating to put these trucker hat-decorating monsters back in jail?

i doubt they notice, all they do is drive a truck on the highway all day and go inside afterwards... or something.

i have em i rock em.

 

 

who cares...

 

none of you are the fashionites you claim to be, and im sure most do whatevery one else does, and i myself do and thats be trendy. certainly no one here is breaking down fashion barriers...

 

its okay, it doesnt make you a bad person, and it probably helps you get laid.

 

so keep you ear to the pavement, and your trucker hat cocked gently to the side.

 

just make sure you match if you wanna match and clash if you wanna clash.

 

on the side of the article....great find deto! win for the good guys!

^Word.

 

Obviously the kewlest shit is to claim you were wearing/doing/saying stuff before everyone else started doing it.

 

Yesterday I found a black trucker hat in my closet with my high school's logo in gold on front. Fucking sickness, I was not aware I had this.
