Judge says flashing headlights is free speech - WTOP.com
My libertarian side lit up (pun intended) when I read this...
WTOP.com has this story by Jeff Barnard of the Associated Press:
"Outraged, Hill decided to fight the ticket, and on Wednesday, a Jackson County Justice Court judge dismissed the citation, finding that motorists flashing their headlights amounts to speech protected by the Oregon Constitution.
Judge Joseph Carter determined the law covering the use of high beams was valid, but was unconstitutional as it was applied by the deputy."
