When it comes to the middle finger, police might need a thicker skin.

A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that a Michigan woman’s constitutional rights were violated when she was handed a speeding ticket after giving the finger to a Taylor officer in 2017.

Its decision means a lawsuit filed by the woman, Debra Cruise-Gulyas, can proceed.

A Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled 3-0 to affirm a federal district court's decision to deny a motion made by the police officer, Matthew Minard, to dismiss the case.


quote:

According to court records, Minard pulled Cruise-Gulyas over for speeding and issued her a ticket for a non-moving violation, a lesser offense. As she drove away, Cruise-Gulyas gave Minard the middle finger.


The police officer pulled her over again and changed the ticket to a moving violation.

Cruise-Gulyas sued Minard, claiming he violated her constitutional rights. Minard claimed police were protected from personal liability, unless they violate a person's clearly established constitutional or statutory rights.

Geez this nation is so trashy

Bad thread title.

He pulled her over for speeding and then tried to give her a break but she’s obviously a c u next Tuesday and didn’t appreciate the break.

He should have just let it go but I guess he felt she didn’t appreciate his generosity.

2. The cop looks like a douchenozzle

Ohhhhh well somebody is a small dick billy badass poster

How about just driving off, and being thankful for not getting a higher ticket?? Or you can be trash like you, and get pissed at someone else for being stupid.

Well, nowhere does it say just how much she was speeding... Barney probably popped her for 5 over. Even being changed to a non moving I'd be pissed too.

She had to fight and spend money to defend herself for this idiot cop’s actions.

Why is this even a thing?

I love officers and all but grow up.

Someone flipping you off isn’t gonna hurt you.

The cop was dumb to say that he pulled her over the second time for giving him the finger. Any of the following, basically unprovable charges would have been better:

1) Obstructed license plate (even if it’s one of this plastic frames that a dealer sticks on.
2) Dim lighting on the plate.
3) Excessive acceleration.
4) Improper lane usage for how she re-entered the roadway.
Etc. etc. etc.

Then, just tell her that you smell alcohol or ask her why her pupils are so big or small. Maybe tell her to relax while asking why she’s so agitated. It all ends up with a DUI charge that will cost $1000’s to defend, no matter how absurd the circumstances. Bitch will learn her lesson.

Cool cool. Be pissed, but dont be trashy about it.

This country has legitimized trash with everything apparently being "freedom of speech". Im sure our forefathers are proud...
