I'll bite.
What law is someone breaking by door knocking off a lead card, E-64 or otherwise?

None in Tennessee.. Don't know about other jurisdictions.
Well, many communities around Philly and even Philly itself have strict non-solicitation laws. Do you really think a cop is going to be all that impressed with your e-64 lead card? He's going to tell you to beat it. Go ahead and argue, but do it respectfully. Otherwise, he will lock you up.

And he would be breaking the law. It is illegal for a city to outlaw door to door solicitation. They can require you respect no-soliciting signs and some cities have a no-soliciting list.
That said, he is still going to throw you in jail and ruin your day and you'll spend a lot of money proving the city wrong.
That said, unless you stick around and are a complete jerk to the person who sent in the card and doesn't want to talk to you, why would he even know you were there?

The key verb is soliciting and who's doing it. How is the agent the one soliciting when the prospect filled out a card or accepted a phone call and requested information?
"Mr. Officer, These people, along with hundreds of thousands of other people, received this card or accepted a phone call offering information. They took the time read(listen to) what it was about, provided personal information, walked it down to the mail box and sent it back requesting information from us. I merely showed up here to deliver the no-cost information they requested. What they do with that information is entirely up to them."

"Your ultraistic efforts earlier this week saving unsuspecting agents the pitfalls of purchasing non compliant tele leads from a vendor was very honorable.

Last summer I was door knocking "leads" off a filtered targeted data list in one of my favorite towns to work in. Towards the end of the day, a cop pulls up and asks me if I've got a permit to go door to door. Someone had obviously called after I'd been to their door. I said, "no, I've been door knocking in this town for 30 years and never knew I needed one. When did this start?" He said it's always been that way. There're no signs at the edge of town.
To make a long story short, I went to the police station and got a permit...didn't even cost anything. The only difference now, is that I have to door knock between 9 AM-5 PM and I can't go up to houses that have a no soliciting sign.
I've always knocked on those doors and have never had anyone say anything about the sign. I keep hoping someone will so I can use a line I got from Rouse..."I'm not a lawyer".
