Contracts define what your rights are in a given situation, most of the time you are signing your usual rights away when you sign one. These aren't "zoning laws", they are legal contracts between you and the Home Owner's Association. They keep out people who park old refrigerators out on the porch or who want to paint a swastika on their lawn. It's a good way to do it, you can pick and choose the kind of neighborhood you want to live in. This guy signed a contract prohibiting advertising on his vehicles. He needs to abide by it or go to court, the idea someone is "violating his rights" is ridiculous, he has a right to go live somewhere else where his behavior doesn't bother his neighbors.
