This isn’t new but the first time I’ve seen it. Charges were dropped and now he’s suing. Thin skinned mofos in this video
Lulz at these Cops

Now you know why many cops get no respect.
Give the class nerd a badge and a gun...
This is what you get.

They also tried to put 2 charges of obstruction of justice on him too. Held him on a cash only bail for 4 days.
Yeah, the cops should have roughed him up more
The driver was wrong, I think.
Depending on the state, he has to give his driver's license and proof of insurance.
Then again, I'm not a lawyer. @Jimmy McGill

I don't think they can demand license and insurance if they pull you over for not committing an actual crime.
And "improper hand display" is not a crime in this case.
I think cops can, depending on the state.
In Maryland, there are sobriety checkpoints and drivers have to give cops a drivers license and proof of insurance.
I believe a checkpoint is a bit different than lighting up a singular vehicle and initiating a traffic stop on said vehicle.
Agree! Should have face planted him. ****ing smart asses need to be redirected, or ...FAFO.
Seems he was a FAFO.
I'd have fun with this one and a jury.
Folks don't like this type of behavior from the "serve and protect" crowd.
Easily could have been handled differently

Just got on for the first time today. Let me get my feet under me.
Checkpoints are presumptively unconstitutional with a few exceptions
We should never aspire to be Nazi Germany: "show me your papers"
Well, we should definitely require drivers to carry and present certain papers.
I just texted this to my attorney. I'll let HBOT know if he responds:
"Can police pull over a driver if the driver gives the police the middle finger?"
With all professions......there are good ones and bad ones. We have a good one here in @Hawkman98
The difference from other professions is that a bad LEO can seriously f' up someone's life
In Iowa, the code is broad enough to be a simple misdemeanor. Now, that being said, I don't think many county attorneys would prosecute.
I definitely love it when my clients text me after 8 pm over the Christmas holiday. He's probably eagerly firing up Westlaw right now.
I guess one would definitely have to be a real Christian and not fascist to think like this.
Too often the problem isn't one bad cop. When one cop decides to pull over the guy who flipped them off, the other needs to have the judgment to say no. I can understand the loyalty dynamic involved in the types of situations that are required of LEOs. But there has to be better training (or something) to help trigger a recognition of inappropriate or illegal behavior that leads to a sound professional response.
My attorney just texted me back:
Me: "Can police pull over a driver if the driver gives the police the middle finger?"
My attorney: "No, but they'll find a way."
Mostly I lay the law down on your mom. When I get some free time from that, the firm I'm with does just about everything general practice but criminal defense and family law. My practice used to be more litigation heavy, but now it's mostly transactional work (real estate, contracts, estate work, etc.). Never had a criminal or civil rights practice per se, but I know enough to say these cops are not bright or good at their jobs.
Yep, pretextual stops are A-OK according to the SCOTUS. Good luck driving more than two miles without breaking at least one traffic law.
Back when I was 19 or 20 years old we were back in Niceville for xmas break.
High school getting friends together that had gone to different unis.
My friend Neal was 6'6" and never seemed to have a problem bluffing a beer purchase picked us up a case. We'd just picked up the fourth friend in Bluewater and were heading toward Destin/beach to chill and chat up tourists. Going down White Point Rd. to the Mid-Bay bridge and Neal starts being his goofball self and flashing his lights and flicking off oncoming traffic (it was after dark). Third car he does it to turns on the blue lights and whips a 180'.
Shit.
My buddy in the back seat has his feet on the case, and none of us are 21. Fortunately we hadn't opened it yet, so the car didn't smell like beer.
Deputy comes up to the window and says, "I imagine you know why I pulled you over, you want to tell me what's going on?"
Neal says, "Sorry, just being silly, I didn't mean any harm."
Cop asks, "You sure there isn't anything else you want to tell me?"
"Well... I... I flicked you off."
"NO! I mean bad stuff!"
"No, sir."
Didn't even have us get out of the car. Ran his license and sent us on our way.

Bottom line, if LEO is pulling this B.S., we have too many LEOs.
When I was Magistrate, the Mayor of the largest town in the county had his son brought on board the Police Department. I had to throw out many cases, not only when he was caught lying, but on simple stupid stuff. Dumb as shit, but he thought he was smarter than Einstein.
I had a certain degree of leeway asking clarifying questions.
There a shit ton of people doing the job making 80K that only have a GED

Not legally in Iowa. I see it all the time. I just think BFD or finger them back.
