The unconstitutional Dress code in Mohave County
An opinion by Gianluca Zanna

1) Let's start with the fact that Mohave County is not a private club where they can tell you how to dress,
but it's a public place.. that We the People pay for it.
Where we supposed not to be in front of Masters but public servants, that if they want the respect of us removing our hats,
they must earn it, not ordering it.

2) Holding an harmless flag and wearing a hat it's an expression of First Amendment...
There is no disturbance of the peace, no infringing on other people rights... government has no business in telling how I should dress, unless I infringe on other people rights. I did not see Mr. Kanelos naked or doing obscenities... did you?

3) Back to The Declaration of Independence... "All human are created equals..." right? if I am equal, why should I be forced to bow down to a public servant?

4) Then the AZ Constitution
a) Art II. Political power; purpose of government

Section 2. All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.

I want to maintain my individual right to self expression wearing the clothes I want, especially in front of the people that supposed to work for me.

5) To end, the Arizona Open Meeting law 38-431.01. Meetings shall be open to the public ...
not a word about dress code...

if We give the power to the government to tell us what we can wear in front of them, We set ourself up to open the hell's gate... and we reverse the fundamental role...
Are We working for the government or the government is working for US?
If I am a business owner, and I have a worker working for me, I never would allow him to tell me how to dress.
Would you?
