From the original article.
SAN DIEGO -- A local pastor and his wife claim they were interrogated by a San Diego County official, who then threatened them with escalating fines if they continued to hold Bible studies in their home, 10News reported.

Attorney Dean Broyles of The Western Center For Law & Policy was shocked with what happened to the pastor and his wife.

Broyles said, "The county asked, 'Do you have a regular meeting in your home?' She said, 'Yes.' 'Do you say amen?' 'Yes.' 'Do you pray?' 'Yes.' 'Do you say praise the Lord?' 'Yes.'"

Sounds like a hunt to me, against religious gatherings. Were other gatherings of 10-15 people questioned and threatened with escalating fines? I don't know. But I believe the ordinance is that the use of land for religious purposes is unlawful unless you have a permit.... Since this is a small group I wonder if they have problems with super bowl parties...

And further down:

"If the county thinks they can shut down groups of 10 or 15 Christians meeting in a home, what about people who meet regularly at home for poker night? What about people who meet for Tupperware parties? What about people who are meeting to watch baseball games on a regular basis and support the Chargers?" Broyles asked.

It's kind of amusing how 10-15 people is somehow comparable to 4-5 people.
