Yes...sure, she was asleep in his lap.
It’s not illegal to make rude gestures in public to cops in Florida?
I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Few people are so stupid as to flip off the cops while getting some in the front seat.
If you seem to be giving a turn signal you are expected to make a turn.
Years ago a friend of mine, Iowa State Highway Patrol, was flipped off by a guy in a car. Lights flash, guy gets pulled over. This friend goes up to the car and the guy tells the trooper that there is nothing he can do about it. Trooper takes the guy to the count courthouse (20 minute drive), gets a judge there (I think it was a weekend), and the judge agrees with the guy, there is nothing the trooper can do to the guy. Trooper takes him back to his car and apologizes, tells the guy he was right, there is nothing he can do. About 2 hours total expired...and the driver probably didn’t flip off troopers anymore.
For the most part, this trooper was a great guy. He would pull you over for speeding/whatever, give your kids coloring books and stickers and such. Killed ya with kindness, but you didn’t want to be on his bad side.
He told the story, I don’t know if it was true or not. But I never go out of my way to find the bad side of a cop...
It’s not illegal anywhere. It’s protected speech under the 1st amendment.
