By doing this, he placed himself in great peril. He attempted to interfere as the Government [police] collected money, or as they refer to it as, revenue. this is the number one reason that the Government has the police go after thieves, they [Government] doesn't want the competition.

I notice that they never put police cars in the “high risk” areas where they tried putting up revenue generating traffic light cameras (and were overruled by the public).

2002: Sanford [FL] judge rules in favor of motorist who flashed his headlights


A judge in Sanford ruled Tuesday that a Lake Mary man was lawfully exercising his First Amendment rights when he flashed his headlights to warn neighbors that a deputy had set up a speed trap nearby.

That decision is another victory for Ryan Kintner, 25, who sued theSeminole County Sheriff's Officelast year, accusing it of misconstruing a state law and violating his civil rights, principally his right to free speech.

He was ticketed Aug. 10 by a Seminole County deputy, but Kintner alleges the officer misapplied a state law designed to ban motorists from flashing after-market emergency lights.

Circuit Judge Alan Dickey earlier ruled that that state law does not apply to people who did what Kintner did, use his headlights to communicate.

On Tuesday the judge went a step further, saying people who flash their headlights to communicate are engaging in behavior protected by the U.S. Constitution.


A Google search turns up many similar stories.

Committing suicide is illegal in some places.
So if I tell someone not to commit suicide according to line 3 have I committed a crime?

Just asking.
