North Carolina: SDSer files motion alleging that the Chapel Hill town ordinance addressing crowds is unconstitutional

About 25 people gathered in front of the Franklin Street post office to rally in support of the student protester arrested in November.

Tamara Tal, a member of Students for a Democratic Society, was scheduled to appear in court Monday and planned to plead not guilty to a charge of failure to disperse.

Tal's lawyer, Al McSurely, filed a motion alleging that the Chapel Hill town ordinance addressing crowds is unconstitutional.

The ordinance states that it is unlawful for a person to refuse a police request to disperse from blocking any street, sidewalk, alley or public walkway.
