SITCIOT - Stick It to Click It or Ticket

Will Americans soon have this to look forward to soon? In another words: Free Speech - don’t leave home without it.

A woman convicted of insulting a police officer had her appeal rejected by the High Criminal Appeal Court yesterday. She was arrested in November last year, when she was pulled over for driving without a seat belt and creating chaos by continuously honking on Exhibition Avenue. The woman, a 23-year-old Bahraini, insulted the police officer and started yelling at him “you don’t have the right to stop me or give me a ticket”, according to court documents. She and her two friends were fined BD20 each by the Lower Criminal Court for yelling at the officers.

Michigan Civil Rights Department Director Linda Parker issued a statement saying she was disturbed to learn of the plan. She said Michigan bans discrimination based on age or sex, so Stelma’s plan would be “a clear violation of the law.” The release was apparently made after Kent County Sheriff Larry Stelma said something about targeting young males for heavy enforcement, but the exact reasons for the statement are unclear in the article. However, this presents an interesting opportunity for those who want to appeal seatbelt tickets issued in Michigan.
