Well that was stupid of the deputy.
I don’t know if it’s in the article, but the sticker said “I Eat A*s”...
What’s on the sticker?
Idiot sounds immature as hell.
Idiot sounds immature as hell.
Thank you.
Gross but not as obscene as others I’ve seen.
But Cardi B can say something similar on the radio.
Well......what did it say?!?
Jim Morrison ran afoul of Florida’s obscenity laws, too.
I saw someone with a license plate in the ‘80s that read, “NE1469”
Oh, and you don't like rudeness? It bothers you? Well then, GROW UP!
Like these jerks with the scrotums hanging from their trailer hitch. What are you, like 12?
Are we sure this deputy’s name isn’t Fife.
The first amendment is not carte blanche to be a complete obscene jerk.
I’ve come to the conclusion that people who do stuff like this in their cars simply have the goal of angering as many people as they can every day when they leave home.
“Well that was stupid of the deputy.”
The deputy did his duty. This in a time where he (the deputy) was supposed to look the other way.
No one wants filthy bumper stickers confronting their family.
I get the feeling that jurisdiction is not a moron sanctuary.
From a lawyer website:
Florida law defines obscenity as material that:
An average person, using contemporary community standards, would find as a whole appeals to the prurient interest;
Depicts or describes sexual conduct in a way that is patently offensive;
Taken as a whole, doesn’t have any serious scientific, artistic, political or literary value.
The law specifically asserts that a mother breastfeeding her baby is not – under any circumstance – to be considered “obscene.”
Well, that is disgusting, but the sticker is still less offensive than an obama sticker....
The deputy said he asked Webb how a parent of a small child would explain the meaning of the words, and Webb said that “it would be up to the parent.”

“Finally, in arguments before this Court, much has been made of the claim that Cohen’s distasteful mode of expression was thrust upon unwilling or unsuspecting viewers, and that the State might therefore legitimately act as it did in order to protect the sensitive from otherwise unavoidable exposure to appellant’s crude form of protest.
“Those in the Los Angeles courthouse could effectively avoid further bombardment of their sensibilities simply by averting their eyes.”
They do realize that the word ass removed from the naughty list by President GHW Bush.
