I got arrested for calling a cop an a-hole.

It's considered disorderly conduct if you're disruptive and someone can take offense to it (ie drunk in public or disturbing the peace). And calling a cop an asshole is both fucking stupid and falls well within the parameters disorderly conduct. True you have the right to free speech, but there's no guarantee that there's not going to be any consequences. Because no one is really free.

14th amendment Section 1:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I would recommend coming clean and admitting guilt. Apologise to the Cop, make some excuse or something, and if you have no past criminal record the judge should let you go free without charge.

 

[Insanum]

You talk back to a cop, no need.

This should teach you a lesson, smartass.

And being a wise ass while he was talking to me and asking for an ID.

Charged with disorderly conduct.
I co-operated completely during the arrest. Gave him my information (albeit in a smart ass way).

I can beat this in court right?

WHY DIDNT YOU LINK YOUR VIDEO.

I found it hilarious XD

Swearing at a cop/being unco-operative isnt a privilege, And you are not immune due to a medical or political reason, so ~ This law is completely[/I] irrelevent. Nice try though.

privileges ? you think insulting cops is an unalienable privilege ?

Oh wow....for real ?

 

[Garaw]

Consider it a life lesson. There are times when keeping your mouth shut is a good idea, and insulting people with some kind of authority over you rarely pays off, no matter how much of an asshole they are personally. For similar reasons, don't piss off lawyers either.

Pretty sure they didn't have smarting off to cops in mind when they mentioned "priviledges and immunities," and at any rate the constitution gets folded, spindled, and mutilated on a daily basis.

 

[FluffyNeurosis]

You're boned and bringing up the constitution is just going to piss off everyone in court but you.

 

[ffxfriek]

Why be a smartass when dealing with a officer? That's disrespectful and just not a good move.

You could probably fight it in court if you want to spend all of the money for legal fees and what-not.

or if the officer doesnt go to court you have a slim chance of getting off free. but if the officer shows up your screwed

First amendment brah.


Or is it as Ice-T so equently put it,
"Freedom of Speech, that's some motherfuckin' bullshit
You say the wrong thing, they'll lock your ass up quick"

Am I the only one who find somthing horribly wrong with this way of thinking?

Whatever floats your boat, but the first amendment is not, contrary to popular belief a license to say whatever you damn well please to whoever you damn well please


Feel free to try it though, it should be worth a laugh or two.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

That was not the smartest move you could have made in that situation. Don't bother trying to fight it. Just accept that you made a bad move and forgt about it.

 

[Dok Zombie]

Go out shooting.

Like the end of Devil's Rejects.

Yes, you are. What do you think is going to happen? The judge is going to realize the intrinsic errors in the system and dismiss the case? Ushering in a new era where we're all free to call cops douchelords like God intended?

Or are they going to think you're a smartmouthed little shit who thinks getting busted is so earthshattering that he has to get the constitution involved?

Not exactly Rosa Parks, dude.

Heck, you just admitted your guilt in a forum thread; don't think it's gonna stand up in court. Harhar. Not the wisest professional to smart off to. I've always learned that no matter what, you call them "Sir" or M'am", give them short truthful answers, apologize and be on your way, no matter how frustrated you are.
Pick your battles..you lost this one, just pay your fine, apologize and don't do it again.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

I hate cops, they always flip me off and act like such assholes, then if you say something like "Stop being such a dick!" they arrest you! Pricks, I hope they all turn into the coke whores they never seem to catch because they're too busy searching a 15-year-old, because apparently, I looked like I was "intoxicated"
I WAS FUCKING TIRED BECAUSE I HAD TO WALK 8Km TO MY FUCKING HOUSE BECAUSE THE STUPID FUCKING SCHOOL BUS BROKE DOWN! Damn I hate cops!

 

[blue heartless]

Your first problem was that you cooperated so easily. If an authority asks you any question or favor, you have to ask them in return. "Why must I answer/comply?"

They can ask you for your identification, but it is YOUR choice to give it to them. They can't take it from you, which is why people who refuse get detained while the proper paperwork is filled out. That cost money, manpower and attention that the city/state government never wants to spend. Trust me, I've gotten out of many summons just because I showed up on the court date, and the officer hadn't.

 

[CHangedUsername]

Meh

I suppose I'll probably just plead guilty.
When I mellowed out the cops seemed to start to like me.

He and his partner and I actually talked a bit and we made each other laugh.

Fuck tha po-leece comin' straight from tha underground...

Depends really.
1. What state you live in.
2. What county in that state.
3. How old you are.
4. Where you were standing (public property or private)

Most likely you'll get a fine and a really (I mean really fucking) boring lecture by the judge. I got picked up for the same thing. My advice, when in court (if it gets that far), SHUT THE HELL UP! Yes sir, no sir, and nothing else.

 

[CHangedUsername]

I have a court date the 20th.
Jersey
I'm 19
Public...
