“Ocean City, Maryland is known for a bustling boardwalk that’s packed with the sights, smells, and sounds of summer. The city’s leaders, however, approved an ordinance prohibiting anyone from being audible from more than 30 feet away while on the boardwalk. Mayor Rick Meehan tells Reason that the goal was ‘to ensure that everybody had an opportunity to enjoy Ocean City.’ But that wasn’t how William Hassay saw it after being hassled by cops. Hassay has been entertaining passersby for almost 20 years by playing his violin for tips. ‘I was told I would be cited and that I would be subjected to face jail time,’ he says.”
