Harris claims her free speech rights are being violated. She was one of nearly 40 motorists who received tickets last August during a 27-hour demonstration organized by the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Union Local 2850.

Police said demonstrators were yelling, banging pots and using amplified sound after the 10 p.m. cutoff for such activity.

Harris said she honked her horn three times before she was pulled over.
