Free Speech Fight: City Threatens to Jail Unlicensed Talkers

Tour guides are storytellers, and the government cannot be in the business of deciding what stories are important or who is allowed to tell them.

That is why on January 28, 2016, three would-be Charleston tour guides have joined forces with the Institute for Justice to file a federal lawsuit against the city’s tour-guide licensing scheme. The suit seeks to vindicate a basic principle: that the First Amendment protects the right to talk for a living, whether you are a stand-up comedian or a journalist or a tour guide.
