NODE 9d08250adirected speech free? request for opinions.
I have seen California law code which seems to indicate that speech
directed at an individual is not covered under the first amendment.

If you have any thoughts on the matter, please send opinions (not legal
advice, of course, if you are a lawyer). Also, if you know of any speech
rights scholars or lawyers willing to answer a few related questions for
free, I would appreciate the pointer. 

Thank you.

I'm confused.  What in California law makes you think that the First
Amendment doesn't apply unless you speak to more than one person?  Assuming
that's what you mean by "speech directed at an individual."

I don't have the law code available. I was told by an attorney that the
particular passage says this is the case. I would like to challenge this
passage. I will get back with the particular code section and text.
