Illegal handbill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sometimes followed by another word, such as poster or posting, an illegal handbill is one that violates laws or codes regarding use of a public place to advertise.
A handbill includes any sign, notice, placard, poster, paper, advertising circular, sticker, card, leaflet, or other similar item calculated to attract the attention of the public.[1]
Although the precise wording may vary from place to place, an example of applicable regulations is:
- "No person shall post, affix, ... attach ... upon any street lamp, street sign, ... utility poll ...[2]
