Myrtle Beach helmet law arguments set for February 3
The South Carolina Supreme Court will hear oral argument on the constitutionality of Myrtle Beach's helmet laws next month. The law is one of many passed by Myrtle Beach in an attempt to force out the May biker rallies. Among other reasons to strike down the ordinance, it is in violation of the South Carolina Constitution because it criminalizes conduct that is not criminal under state law. In my opinion it is an abuse of power by city officials, and I hope that the Court does the right thing.
