Bible studies - First Amendment Issue?

I find it difficult to believe that county officials in San Diego would actually pursue a neighborhood Bible study group for violating a regulation requiring a major use permit before being allowed to meet. But given the source of the news account - an area TV station - I have to believe it is credible.

County employees apparently responded to a complaint about the number of cars parking in the neighborhood due to the weekly gatherings of some 20-25 people. While that seems like a legitimate action, the problem comes as workers question the nature of the gathering, not the parking concerns. No doubt those county workers never anticipated the matter escalating into a potential First Amendment issue.

What's next? Backyard neighborhood barbecues?
