Supreme Court strikes down blanket obscenity ban on drive-in films
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that Jacksonville Florida cannot prohibit showing films with nudity at drive-ins.

The decision notes it could bar newsreels and other non obscene depictions and rejects the traffic regulation justification.
