In the case of Chicago v. Morales, the Supreme Court addressed a city ordinance aimed at curbing gang activity. The law prohibited loitering by individuals suspected of being gang members, allowing police to disperse groups of two or more people. Critics argued that the ordinance was too vague and infringed on the right to free assembly. The Court ruled that the loitering ordinance was unconstitutional because it failed to provide clear guidelines for enforcement. This decision emphasized the importance of protecting individual rights while balancing public safety concerns, ultimately reinforcing the principle that laws must be specific and not overly broad.
