023010P.pdf   06/03/2003  Interactive Digital  v.  St. Louis County
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3010
   Eastern District of Missouri   
Civil Case - First Amendment. County ordinance making it unlawful for sell, rent, or make available graphically violent video gams to minors or permitting the free play of graphically violent video games by minors with a parent's consent is a regulation of speech based on content and does not survive strict scrutiny. The deleterious effect on psychological health of minors playing violent video games is not supported in the record. County constitutionally may not limit First Amendment rights as a means of aiding parental authority. Case is remanded for entry of injunction.
