If a citizen speaks at a public meeting and says something a politician doesn’t like, can the citizen be arrested, cuffed, and carted off to the hoosegow?

Yes, apparently, such a person can be arrested, cuffed, and carted off to the hoosegow, because it happened.

The better questions are:

A) Should such a person be arrested, cuffed, and carted off to the hoosegow, and my is an emphatic NO, and,

B) Is it constitutional for such a person to be arrested, cuffed, and carted off to the hoosegow, and I certainly hope our supreme court rules that it is not.

Correction.

...and my answer is an emphatic NO...

A few years ago one of the local governments around here jailed a woman over $162 in unpaid wage tax.

So I suppose anything is possible.
