Picket Fences - Are home protests an effective expression of free speech — or neighborhood harassment? - News - Pittsburgh City Paper Where does free speech run afoul of the right to privacy?

In recent months, protests have moved from the street and the courthouse to local churches and homes, and have many asking that exact question. Some call the tactic “offensive,” while others say it is protected speech, and the only solace activists can find when all other attempts have been exhausted. Now the Citizen Police Review Board may ask Pittsburgh City Council to make it illegal in Pittsburgh.

I generally love what the executive director of the Citizens Police Review Board says and does. But, I'm not in favor of a limit on freedoms by making new laws that prohibit free speech.
