Patterson Hazley said there were some people who testified on Tuesday in a committee meeting saying they were concerned the ordinance would restrict a person's First Amendment right to peacefully assemble. The ordinance on the other hand, could crack down on the number of ATV riders on city streets though, according to Patterson Hazley.
