 Vegetable Soup (Image by diekatrin) Details DMCA | A San Antonio woman is planning to use the state's "religious freedom" law to contest a citation she received for feeding homeless residents at a local park, the San Antonio Express-News reported. Joan Cheever said four bike-patrol officers ticketed her last week for handing out food from a vehicle that was not her food truck. It was reportedly the first time authorities stopped her since she has been providing free weekly meals for the homeless since 2005. The citation carries a potential fine of $2,000. When she goes to court on June 23, she said she will argue that she should be allowed to continue sharing her food because it is a valid expression of her faith under the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act. |
