If the cops are so concerned about people looking at the road, should they start pulling over anyone using a cell phone while driving? IMO, looking up at an overpass is much saver than looking and concentrating on your cell phone while driving.
I hate to say this but, in the law community aren't cops at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to understanding the actual law. I can safely say that 99% of them didn't go to law school and only about half have a 4 year degree. So, how is it that they can make the call to arrest someone who is practicing their first amendment rights? I am shocked that the ACLU hasn't stepped up to the plate on this one.
How does someone resist arrest when there was no reason to arrest? By the MoSHP actions, a patrolman can stop in front of your house, arrest you, hold you for 24 hours, and give no reason, PERIOD.
Cops should stick to their assigned role:
Raising cash for the Welfare State from innocent citizens attempting to legally go about their day.
Ha!!
They do in California -- and it is a BIG fines.
By the logic the cops are using, billboards should be illegal since they potentially distract drivers from focusing on the road.
They are grasping at straws here.
