The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that loitering statutes must provide ascertainable standards of guilt. The decision overturned James Palmer's conviction under Euclid Ohio's suspicious person ordinance for being on the street late at night with no apparent lawful business. The court found the law vague and lacking notice that discharging a friend at an apartment complex and talking on a car phone could be criminal.
