This is bogus. You can’t arrest and convict someone for tapping his foot. Even if it is a message, so what. That’s protected free speech. Even if he is cruising, the other can say no. So, where is the crime, here?

Rubbish!

So you can approach a prostitute on a street corner and ask her for "a date", and that is protected free speech?

Try it to an undercover cop sometime, see how far you get....

Yes. That is why the undercover cops wait until a relatively clear offer of money for sex before making an arrest.

I have had my experiences with stupid cops, thanks. That’s why we have a bill of rights, to protect us against their violations of our rights. Too bad you would rather live in a police state.
