Defendants moved to dismiss charges of violating city’s park curfew ordinance arising from their failure to comply with police directions to leave park, where they were participating in movement known nationally as Occupy Wall Street. The Circuit Court denied motion and found defendants guilty. Defendants appealed.
The Supreme Court of New Hampshire held that curfew ordinance was a reasonable regulation of time, place, and manner in which city’s parks could be used and, as applied to defendants, did not violate constitutional protections of free speech.
