General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

APPEAL FROM THE SUPERIOR COURT IN AND FOR
THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
Syllabus
1. Appellants are taxicab drivers who transported passengers from Mexico across an unincorporated area of San Diego County, California, to points not in the unincorporated area. They were convicted of driving taxicabs in an unincorporated area of the county without a permit from the sheriff required by a county ordinance. The ordinance required a written supplication for a permit, payment of a $1 fee, and compliance with certain standards relating to the public safety.
Held: the ordinance as here applied was not invalid under the Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution. Pp. 100-104.
(a) The ordinance was not inconsistent with the Motor Carrier Act of 1935 or Interstate Commerce Commission regulations. Pp. 101-102.
(b) Nor was the ordinance an unreasonable burden on foreign commerce. Pp. 102-103.
2. The question of the constitutional validity of a provision of the ordinance requiring a taxicab operator’s license and payment of a $50 fee therefor is not here presented. Pp. 103-104.
101 Cal.App.2d 907, 226 P.2d 87, affirmed.
