Detroit was an American city located in Michigan and has a population of around 680,0000 people. In 1995, there were many magazines sold in this city that contained pornographic material for adults. The local government decided to put restrictions on these magazines because they felt they were harmful to society.
They did this by passing a law which limited where you could buy them and what kind of magazines you could sell in those places. One example of this restriction was that it became illegal for stores within 1000 feet from schools or churches to sell any type of adult magazine. This meant if there was a store near one of these places then they had to stop selling those types of publications immediately.
In addition, businesses had to get special permits before being allowed to sell anything sexualized such as lingerie or sex toys, but even then it was still difficult since applicants needed both police approval and permission from the mayor himself - both processes took time and money, making it hard on small business owners who wanted to make ends meet without breaking any rules. As a result, fewer porno mags were available for purchase throughout Detroit leading up until today when most stores have stopped carrying them altogether due to lack of demand caused by tighter regulation policies set forth by legislators back then.
Aside from restricting adult magazines sales, other actions taken during this period included fines against shops that violated this new ordinance and arrests made upon discovery of offenders caught breaking said laws. Many people argued against these measures saying they violated freedom of speech rights guaranteed under the First Amendment; however, others supported their use believing it would help protect children from explicit content found in magazines such as Playboy or Hustler.
Overall, while some may view these restrictions as censorship gone too far, many argue it helped create a safer environment for kids growing up around Detroit which ultimately led to better outcomes overall in terms of public safety.
