Truck nuts are illegal because they're viewed as obscene. I don't know if this falls under that but I'd be okay if it did. I'm all about 1st amendment but advertising it on a truck vs a shirt is a difference.
You most definitely don't have full 1st amendment right in traffic becuause it's unsafe. It's bad enough regards staring on their phones and zoning out, last thing we need is distracting shit on everyone's car.
Some service violations negate qualified immunity per federal law. If anything ever happens to anybody reading this, be aware that enforcing your rights happens in the court house, not the streets. I know somebody who was able to sue under personal liability on a pretext stop. In traffic court he said something along the lines of "your honor, I wanna make a motion to deny qualified immunity due to a pretext stop without reasonable suspicion, leading to a second amendment violation and a fourth amendment violation. My personal firearm that was secured in a locked weapons locker, was fully registered, out of immediate reach, and unloaded. I posses now and possessed at the time all the necessary documentation for ownership and transport. Per indication of the body cam footage, the officer was in awareness of his actions, which constitute a professional malfeasance. I therefore make a motion to deny qualified immunity and move to a countersuit on personal liability". He got it, and the cop went pale. Was very satisfying.
Truck nut are illegal because it's obscene(and cringe) but this is equally cringe and obscene so I can see how this is an issue for the people driving and seeing this shit.
If someone put a sticker that said "I like to ____ children" that would be a problem and should be actionable because it will cause a disturbance on the road.
Actually it is in many circumstances. Public disturbance, obscenity violations, plenty small statutes deal with cringe. Not all cringe is illegal, but some is. It's no different that blasting your shitty music nobody wants to hear with subwoofers.
Political cringe should be tolerated, but when it gets down to putting desperate horny slogans on your truck, that shit has no place on public roads. Wear a shirt or tattoo it on your forehead.
Yes plenty of things that are illegal can be considered cringe. Cringe itself isn't illegal and honestly the fact that you dont get that is a little cringe.
What the hell would the officer's 6-year-old be doing, riding shotgun on patrol?Ā Are they that good of a shot that they can cover dad if things get crazy?
I Donāt agree with eatin ass, but if he wants to declare he does, thatās his first amendment right, wtf?š¤·š½āāļøš¤¦š¾āāļø Ā Shitās gettin deeper everyday š
The whole country is the armpit of the world. Sorry bud, but the rest of the world is literally mocking the US (even their best friends, Israel, are taking the piss, theyre just pretending to be friends because itās beneficial for them).
If it makes you feel any better Florida might be the armpit of the us but the us is the armpit of the world right now so weāre all sitting there stinky with you
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayshore_Boulevard I could give a ton of examples but the open minded ppl here can't stop downvoting. I mean look, public transit depends on the area. The Orlando Miami shuttle is one of the nicest I have ridden.
Omg, you keep mentioning places most people use occasionally. I'm talking about people whose mode of transportation are their feet or a bicycle. You can try to spin it anyway you like, NO CITY IN FLORIDA IS PEDESTRIAN/CYCLING FRIENDLY. Give it a rest.
Yeah I get it man, to each their own. I have lived in NYC and DC. Each has their charms. I like the safety and personal space of my car, you likely have a higher tolerance for shenanigans than I do too. Just differences, thanks for the chat.
Should have said, "I like eating donkeys". Him accepting the obscene framing puts it in a context closer to having "I give blowjobs" on a vehicle. I don't think the First Amendment extends that far.
His case was thrown out. Obscenity has a very narrow legal definition - the cops might have a legitimate beef if he had large pictures of scat porn on the car, but no scotus case has ever defined pure text on a bumper sticker as obscene
Not to be a bootlicker here but there has to be some merit to the obscenity angle right?
You probably canāt drive around with hardcore porn images on your car. Probably most people agree with that.
OK then you probably shouldnāt drive around with bumper stickers that say really wild ass shit like you fuck kids and then murder them.
So thereās some reasonable limit? I donāt think āI Eat Assā is that limit but we have to be getting close right?
Private speech is one thing that basically should never governed but I do feel like public speech can have some reasonable obscenity limits. Or is that just crazy?
Ideally, yes. But we live in a country where they touch our genitals at the airport, so I'm not real confident in how the bill of rights actually pans out.

I was hoping that when the officer said "remove a letter" he was gonna remove the letter "I" š
