Los Angeles Police Department v. United Reporting Publishing Corp.

Summary

The Court held that respondent was not entitled to prevail on a facial challenge to California Govt. Code § 6254(f)(3), which restricted access to arrestees' addresses. The Court reasoned the statute regulates government information access rather than speech and no threat of prosecution justified an overbreadth challenge. Justice Stevens dissented, arguing respondent also presented an as-applied challenge and the statute discriminated on disfavored speech purposes.
