Applications shall be filed not less than five days before the time intended for such parade, procession or assemblage.    The permit may be refused or cancelled if:       (1)   The time, place, size or conduct of the parade including the assembly areas and route of march would unreasonably interfere with the public convenience and safe use of the streets and highways.       (2)   The parade would require the diversion of so great a number of police officers to properly police the line of movement, assembly area and areas contiguous thereto so as to deny normal police protection to the Municipality.       (3)   The parade route of march or assembly areas would unreasonably interfere with the movement of police vehicles, fire-fighting equipment or ambulance service to other areas of the Municipality.       (4)   The parade would unreasonably interfere with another parade for which a permit has been issued.       (5)   The information contained in the application is found to be false, misleading or incomplete in any material detail.       (6)   An emergency such as a fire or storm would prevent the proper conduct of the parade.    The permit or any order accompanying it may limit or prescribe reasonable conditions, including the hours, the place of assembly and of dispersal, the route of march or travel and the streets, highways or portions thereof which may be used or occupied.    (b)   Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor on a first offense; on a second offense within one year after the first offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree; on each subsequent offense within one year after the first offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree.
