No Motocross Lawsuit Found In Riverside County Superior Court...

Case No. RIC63538 brought by riders on August 23, 2023, against Riverside County, CA.

Arguments against Riverside County motocross lawsuit were strong

In August 2023, a group of motocross riders filed a lawsuit against Riverside County, alleging that the county's noise ordinance was unconstitutional. The riders argued that the ordinance violated their First Amendment right to free speech and their Fourteenth Amendment right to equal protection under the law.

The county argued that the ordinance was constitutional and was necessary to protect the health and welfare of its residents. The county also argued that the ordinance did not violate the riders' First Amendment rights because it did not prohibit them from speaking or assembling. It only regulated the noise level of their activities.

The riders have 30 days to appeal the motocross lawsuit decision. If they do not appeal, the county's noise ordinance will remain in effect.
