Some towns/cities have ordinances requiring permits for activities such as street preaching or counter protest; some have noise ordinances.

Care to point to a city or town where a "counter protest" specifically requires a permit? [/quote]

Almost ever city/town has laws against interfering with business, events, pedestrian and traffic without a protest.

Btw this was not a protest so the dude arrested wasn’t a counter protester he was impeding an event not a protest.[/quote]

A street preacher busted last week for shouting Bible verses across from a Pride-flag-raising in Pennsylvania has had the disorderly conduct charges against him dropped.

Reading Police Chief Richard Tornielli told WFMZ that Atkins was taken into custody because he was being disruptive to the event and disorderly — not because of what he was saying.

The Berks County District Attorney’s Office said that after reviewing videos of the incident, the charges of disorderly conduct against Atkins were withdrawn Wednesday.

“After review of the video of the incident, including body-worn cameras, and a review of the case law, we did not believe we could prove a criminal case of disorderly conduct,” the office said in a statement.
