Remember "vote for the crook, it's important", in the race between Edwards and David Duke? Edwards, the crook, is in jail. His faithful wife, 40, was driving home from visiting him and was stopped for speeding. She had no license, and was arrested.
The cop then took her phone - perhaps she was calling her lawyer. She said she'd sue and would have his job. She now faces charges of intimidating a state employee, and, I think, interfering with an oficer or some such. Story.
I think her speech was protected. She can sue him, and is entitled to let him know that. He was the guy with the gun who had put her into his car and was taking away her phone - that's intimidation. She was protecting herself, her rights, her dignity.
I suspect that by charging her for priviledged speech, they've violated her rights under the state constitution - so she can sue him and try to get him fired. Can you tell I don't like cops much? Not excusing her speeding, and I wonder why she didn't have a license.
