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

In my opinion her constitutional rights were violated by the arresting officer. A few years ago the Harris County Sheriff was sued for arresting two brothers for videoing the police. Harris County was sued and lost Millions in the case.

Two brothers who successfully sued Harris County and the Sheriff’s Office for false arrest are now suing the attorney who represented them in that case.

Erik and Sean Ibarra filed suit Wednesday in a Harris County court, accusing Lloyd E. Kelley of breach of contract. The brothers are disputing the amount of expenses Kelley incurred and that he wants them to pay.

“They feel like they are being victimized by their own lawyer trying to charge more,” attorney Randy Sorrels said today.

Kelley said that he had not been served with the lawsuit and knew about it only because Sorrels, the brothers’ new attorney had called him.

The brothers received a $1.7 million settlement earlier this year. Kelley asked the court for $2.2 million in legal fees, but was awarded $1.4 million.

Not sure about signs, but a Florida judge recently ruled flashing brights to warn other drivers is covered under freedom of speech.

I think SCOTUS just ruled such action, as long as it did not physically interfere with the LEOs or obstruct traffic, was perfectly legal.

Doesn't matter. It will have cost her time, money for lawyer fees, and stress, which is their objective.
