"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Losinger, 313 N.Y.S.2d 60, 63 Misc.2d 577 (N.Y. City Ct. 1970):
The fact that their cause may have been popular or unpopular is immaterial. 'The Fourteenth Amendment (of the United States Constitution) does not permit a state to make criminal the peaceful expression of unpopular views' (Edwards v. South Carolina, Supra, 372 U.S. at p. 237, 83 S.Ct. at p. 684).
