The opinion
I concur in the result because I am convinced that Judge Murdock is correct in concluding that "that portion of the main opinion titled `The Charge of Failing to Account for a Traffic Ticket' is dictum." 959 So.2d at 691 (Murdock, J., concurring in part in the rationale and concurring in the result).
The main opinion's treatment of the First Amendment is based upon the premise that Brackin was punished for contact with Turner that did not involve attendance at church. The main opinion should not be interpreted as sanctioning the municipal judge's prohibition of Brackin's attending the same church as Turner. That prohibition violated Brackin's right to attend the church of her choice, which is protected by the First Amendment.
