LOS ANGELES — A federal judge in Los Angeles has barred the Mongols motorcycle gang from wearing or distributing its trademarked logo after authorities arrested dozens of its members in six states.
U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper granted an injunction requested by prosecutors Wednesday that prohibits gang members, their family members and associates from wearing, licensing, selling or distributing the logo.
Cooper on Tuesday initially limited the order to just selling or distributing the logo.
I just have a feeling that on appeal this wouldn't stand up. Telling someone they can't have a particular word or logo on their jackets seems to me to be pushing constitutional boundaries.
