I was falsely arrested and put in jail for 15 days pretrial for speaking from the podium during a Clearwater City Council meeting on May 15, 2025. Although the 11th Circuit and the US Supreme Court have said that viewpoint discrimination is illegal, the mayor tried to get me to stop talking (about 30 sec in) after he had just just let another lady (unlike me, she was kissing his a**) speak on non-agenda items.
So, one problem is that non-agenda items is no longer a thing because it was superseded by a lot of other case law, such as Christian Legal Society and Good News Club. A good piece of law to look at is McDonough v. Garcia (11th Cir, 2024). It's not a perfect match, but it leads to a lot of great relevant law pertaining to public speaking at city council meetings. The "Jones" case law deals with 'non-agenda items', but, as stated above, that was superseded by more recent caselaw by both the U.S. Supreme Court and the 11th Circuit (the 11th Cir. is the federal court that deals with federal cases in Georgia, Florida and Alabama).
This footage was take on 5/15/25 at the Main Library, in Clearwater, FL which is where the Clearwater City Council meetings are held.
