Flipping the bird is illegal?

Nice to see that Madison is so progressive that they're jumping all over the whole "police state" deal before it's officially rolled out.

Good work, guys.

It isn't. If you RTFA, though, he also supposedly threatened his "female companion", which the cops tend to take a bit more seriously than the bird. That's what earned him his trip to the back seat of the squad car, where he freaked out until they got him out to cuff 'im and he grabbed the officer's package.

Well if he hit you with his finger, you should probably consider keeping your body inside the vehicle. Just a thought.

It's illegal to grab balls? What does the Good Book have to say about this:

Deuteronomy 25:11-12

If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

"I'm gonna squeeze your nuts, bubba."

The father of a buddy of mine got pulled over for giving a cop the finger, gives them a reason to write you a ticket.

God likes a fair fight.

Godscrack: It's called copping a feel.

Actually, I think it's called feeling a cop.

I really see no alternative to choice C).

You can make me stop flipping my finger when you pry it out of my cold, dead fist. And then I'll still say, "Hey! You missed me, biatch!"

Aunt Leah?

/Rubbed a driving to red light ticket on the cops balls
//Got incarcerated
///She was 86
////God bless you Aunt Leah

Classic. Almost hero material. Cops suck.

R.I.P. 1st amendment

You had a good run, but with the police "protecting" us, we really don't need you anymore.

While I don't agree with it, some areas have "Road Rage" laws that prohibit giving people the finger. In the case of TFA, they filed it under 'disorderly conduct'. Either way, it would have been nice if the guy would have gone to court and challenged the legitimacy of the law, rather than digging himself into a deeper hole.

So the pig attacked him, he was defending himself, and he gets charged with a felony.

Typical pig.

It's always C...

Thanks for making me cringe in my chair Subby.

D. Go to court. You'll probably beat the charge.

Would have also been nice if he hadn't threatened someone's girlfriend... All the angst about "free speech" is misplaced as the guy did other things (which ARE against the law) besides flipping people off, so it's hard to really say precisely why he was arrested, much less say that he was arrested for flipping people off.

If he were, I'd be good and righteously pissed off like everybody else... but it sounds like he went beyond the bounds of free speech.

You're not allowed to threaten people. You can voice your displeasure with them. You can share your opinion far and wide and shout it from the highest mountaintops, but you can't attempt to intimidate them or make them fearful for their safety.

He wasn't in a car. This article gives way more details:

Disorderly Conduct is the catch all of police bullshiat. If they can't think of any law you may actually have broken, they charge you with Disorderly Conduct. It's the going too fast for conditions for more stationary police.

No kidding. Is it somehow illegal now to flip people off?

You point out that it is your right as an American citizen to express yourself freely, including flipping someone off.

A cromulent alternative:

(C) squeeze engrabbinate the officer's nuts, resulting in a felony?

"Improper hand signals"

Law in most states, that you dont give the wrong hand signals while in a car. Yes, you can get pulled over for it. But only if you are the driver. So if you drive a motorized vehicle, dont flip off a cop.

That's hot.

One other thing, if the officer had been packing a vienna sausage, would it only have been a misdemeanor?

If the grab had been off-target, it would have been a misseddewiener.

D) Stick the landing, raise your arms triumphantly in the air and yell "Tadaaa!" Then take your bows while the crowd showers you with confetti and roses.


Hey, the way I read it "flipping off motorists" sounds like a really cool new highway gymnastics event.

Don't cops wear cups when they're on duty? I would think a cup is even more important than body armor for the majority of police work.
