In response to "Federal Judge rules that writing "FUCK YOUR SHITTY TOWN BITCHES" on a speeding ticket is protected speech -- (link)" by ty97

Well....yeah.

That isn't really even arguable.

I don't have any problem with what the judge did, however (reject payment and make the dumbass come to court to get harangued).

This. If I had the power, I'd make him come to court too. But 97's right...arresting him went too far. -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:30 2
- It's at best a judge wielding his power for his personal annoyance or amusement, and at worst an effort to chill speech. I think it's way out of line -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 12:34
- Then we're all agreed. Drinks all around! *clink* -- nm - ML Sep 15, 12:33
I do. It's a waste of time and money. Who cares what he wrote on the ticket. -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 12:30 9
- I care. Courts are entitled to a base level of decorum and civility, and if people can't accommodate that then I'm fine with a judge making the point. - ML Sep 15, 12:33 7
  - He wrote it on a ticket. He didn't disrupt the proceedings. It's ridiculous. -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 12:35 5
    - Clearly we disagree here. :-) -- nm - ML Sep 15, 12:37 4
      - I'm really surprised this is your view. Nobody's arguing that the guy wasn't acting like a 5 year old, but that doesn't entitle the court to harass - pmb Sep 15, 12:44 2
        
        We don't agree that making the kid come to court constitutes harassment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- nm - ML Sep 15, 12:47 1
        
        If they hadn't done the arrest and that nonsense...this would have been a much more interesting case. - Jim Sep 15, 12:50
      - Word. nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:39
  - And traffic court was happening whether this kid was there or not, so it didn't waste court time, really...I mean, they were all gonna be there anyway -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:35
- yes. unless there was a specific threat or something, it's just acting out of being ticked. -- nm - b. Sep 15, 12:31
I have no problem with your IM and making him drive down there either - ty97 Sep 15, 12:29
