She should start a fund to accept donations for her defense.

This hasn’t stood a court challenge anyplace its been challenged. I can’t imagine it standing in Texas.

Note to youngsters, if you’re driving down the road and someone flashes their high beams at you and you can’t figure out why, you should probably make sure you are obeying the speed limit.

When you do something like this you need a second person filming and recording from a distance and transmitting to a secure, out of jurisdiction, location.

Cops say their presence on the roads is to deter speeding. What rot!

he was taking me to jail for obstructing justice revenue.

Fixed it.

"I was completely abiding by the law," she said. "I was simply warning citizens of a situation ahead."

Not in Amerika, you weren't, honey.

One must understand, speeding tickets have nothing to do with detering speeding. Its all about collecting revenue.

If it were about ACTUALLY WANTING to slow down drivers, they'd OPENLY park in plain sight or drive along in traffic.

Instead, everything is done in hiding, in order to CATCH not deter.

Police bullying and abuse of power. They couldn’t arrest her for exercising her first amendment right, so they arrested her on trumped up charges. I’m disgusted by the posters who blame her for this incident. Is there any governmental entity that is not out of control and still worthy of respect?

She won’t need a defenswe fund. I’m sure some sharp lawyer has already contacted her about suing the city.

The court has already ruled in a simlar case and said it is free speech.

[LearsFool]

She was the lookout for the criminals, and that’s okay? Interesting.

If one were smart they'd hold a sign that says something like,

"Speed Traps should be illegal!"

[mikey_hates_everything]

"He was telling me he was taking me to jail for obstructing justice, that was an automatic three to five years,"

Really? Threats and scaring people with three to five years for holding a sign? And cops wonder why they don't get the respect they think they deserve?

[SpaceBar]

Her real offense was interfering with revenue collection.

[Timber Rattler]

So, standing on a public sidewalk and holding a sign warning motorists to obey the law is now a crime???

[Mark]

Also, a person can be arrested for dropping coins in expiring parking meters. That one puzzles me.

When I was in High School I used to do this. If I saw a radar trap I would go down the road and put up a sign that said “Radar Trap Ahead”. Either that or I’d go around and then drive down the street going about 15 miles per hour below the speed limit with a trail of cars behind me who would all change their tunes about me being a road hog when they’d see the radar cops. I’d wave at the cops as I crawled on by their trap.

The fact that they would call her actions “obstructing justice” is a joke. If she was on the sidewalk like she claims, then she was perfectly within her rights to warn motorists of a potential pick pocket ahead.
