California City Fines Couple for Holding Bible Study in Their Home

[Ayatollahgondola]

Well, let's see here,

The court just ruled that day laborers could gather without a permit, so I'm wondering if this couple can just rely on that ruling.

That said, I don't know why one person should be able to defy the code. There are churches, parks, halls, and other venues available, so why bring such a large gathering to your quiet neighborhood. They said they paid a lot of money for their home, but that's just what it is; a home, not a church or meeting hall.
