Explanation:

Pagan v. Fruchey and Village of Glendale is a case in which Christopher Pagan wanted to sell his car and put a for sale sign on it and parked it on a city street. Because of this, he received a notice that his car was in violation of a city ordinance that didn't allow him to do this. He filed a suit claiming that the law was unconstitutional because it violated his First Amendment right. Pagan won because Glendale couldn't provide enough evidence that the ordinance had the goal of avoiding a potential harm. It was considered that the law didn't serve a government interest in public safety.
