Judge Orders Removal Of 'Illicit Cannabis' Signs Plastered On NYC Hemp Shops By Gov's Weed Authorities
Two Manhattan hemp stores are given a green light from a state Supreme Court judge to remove "illicit cannabis" signs placed on the storefronts by cannabis regulators following raids, reported Times Union. The temporary restraining order signed by Arthur F. Engoron, a judge of the Supreme Court 1st Judicial District in New York, suggests questions around the legality of the tactics used by state regulators and the New York City Sheriff's Office in their enforcement efforts have been raised. Dozens of hemp store owners are already fighting their respective court battles, after their shops got raided, with products seized and "illicit cannabis seized" signs placed on their storefronts without any hearings. They argue signs label their businesses as criminal without due process while creating significant reputational and financial harm.

Judge Refuses To Stop NYC Crackdown On Illegal Weed Shops, Which Mayor Adams Calls 'Magnets For Violence'
A group of New York City businesses that saw their stores shut down as part of the "Operation Padlock to Protect" program lost their case against the city officials after a federal judge refused on Thursday to halt the crackdown on unlicensed sellers of cannabis. New York City authorities decided to put an end to thousands of unlicensed shops selling cannabis earlier this year after a new law, known as the Smokeout Act, allowed the NYPD and local sheriff's office to close those businesses without a court order on the first inspection. The stores made money from regular sources as well, selling non-cannabis goods. In June, 27 businesses filed a class-action lawsuit against the city, arguing that the initiative introduced by Mayor Eric Adams in early May violated their due process rights under the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment. The legal action sought an injunction to halt these practices.
