SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah prosecutors asked a judge on Wednesday to toss out a lawsuit by two men who claim they were falsely labeled as gang members under a now-defunct injunction that forbid members of a gang from being seen together in public. Weber County Attorney Chris Allred has said the injunction helped police combat graffiti and gang crime. The justices ruled on a technicality rather than weighing in on whether the police powers were constitutional.
