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.
