He was just trying to say that he was “Number One in the nation.”

a person who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally engages in conduct that is likely to provoke a reasonable person to commit battery commits provocation. Reasonable people do not commit battery in response to being given "the finger".

Just because you can do a thing doesn’t mean you should do it.

The law books are filled with cases of people who were sanctioned for disrespecting police and the courts. People write obscene statements on checks written to pay tickets, or mouth off to cops, and they get an extra charge. And the additional sanctions have been routinely upheld.

Maybe he was saying “up your” ticket quota.

While his choice of communicating his displeasure to the office is not something I condone, I do support his 1st Amendment rights to communicate his displeasure and the Officer in question should be punished and the ticket rescinded.

Yep. That was a really stupid ticket. I assume the ticket was thrown out.

Reasonable people do not give a LEO the finger.........Therefore, the finger flipper can be judged to be unreasonable and therefore able to commit battery if a finger is flipped to them.

So basically the reasonable trooper was saying that if he wasn’t already pulling some one else over, he would pull this guy over and commit reasonable battery upon him?
Got to love the whole cop, gun, and badge power trip.

Really? You want a guy’s business to suffer after he was rude to a cop after the cop allegedly cut him off in traffic? Aren’t you just special.

Thanks for the extra information. The man was disturbing the cop’s peace. For making the obscene gesture at another human being, the nasty, little hippie should have had his teeth knocked down his throat. It’s time to bring back some of the better old laws.

And yet there’s people on this thread defending this cop. Unreal.
