The problem is you have to prove intent to build a legal case. If the person holding a banner doesn't know whatever they're advertising is illegal then they wouldn't be liable. A case could be made if they're informed it's illegal and they continue anyways, but that isn't likely to happen.

If a billboard starts advertising meth, you obviously go after the meth dealer. But the billboard owner—who painted the ad onto it—should also have liability (albeit civil).
