We're not talking about like 2-4 people here.

We're talking about 10-15 people all driving over in cars, taking spots up and down the street.

This should be less about the fact that it was a religion-related and more about the relevant state laws regarding assembly.

California is freakin weird then.  I mean my neighbors have more then 20 people over all the time.  The whole street is lined with cars.

Do they do it every week? In any case does your neighbours activities effect you negatively?

Even if they do it every week, so long as they do not violate fire code or safety rules and regs, they should be allowed under freedom of assembly. Once you start regulating freedoms explicitly stated in the Constitution... well... Do I need to explain further?

The biggest problem with this case is that, as someone said before, the county is looking for extra revenue. So they have a law on the books that requires permits to gather to "worship"... and so they targeted a religious gathering for extra funds. Could they have targeted other things? Maybe, but that isn't what happened here. As such it is an affront and assault on freedoms explicitly granted to by the laws of the land.
