"TX woman jailed for warning motorists about speed trap"
That being said I'm firmly on the side of Natalie Plummer.
THEY have the right to enforce the law; and, citizens have the right to warn.
If she was warning about a pothole or accident ahead, would it be the same?...
Howard Portnoy recently posted about about it at HotAir.com:
"ABC affiliate KTRK in Houston reports that Natalie Plummer was arrested and jailed for alerting drivers to the presence of a speed trap. Plummer was on her bike heading home from grocery shopping when she saw police pulling over alleged speeders. So she scribbled ;Speed Trap!; on a grocery bag and stood at the side of the road holding up her makeshift sign. Soon after, one of the uniformed denizens of the trap drove up and slapped on the bracelets."
