Then I would consult an attourney. Since if this came to involving the law, you would need to have one representing you anyway. They would be the ones who would know. I don't think any of the Fargostreet regulars major or practice law.Right, because only people who charge $200 an hour can really know if something is legal or not:icon_scratch:

Well about three years back, my buddy and i were driving down 13th and he actually saw one of his other buddies in his car he flipd him off as his friend returned the favor...Well we get right in front of BP there before the mall and a police officer pulls us over for assaulting someone in traffic. We didnt get a ticket cuz we both explained it was a friend. So i dont really know if its illegal or not? I just think that cop pulled us over just for the fuck of it... But you would think it could be part of freedom of speech or something?

i'm not sure if flipping the bird is illegal or not....but you can pull a gun on someone if they are on your property and you don't want them to be

Well alls I know is that I had 3 cops at my house one night for flipping someone back off after they did it to me. That + the DARE officer makes it sound like the local PD has flipping the bird as a high profile crime. Whether or not it's illegal is another matter though...I still want to see a high court ruling on the issue and from the looks of the article I read, it IS legal/freedom of speech...but i'm not 100% certain.

Dustin, the police just hate you. That is all.No they had to come talk to me because the assbags called me in after I returned the favor to them and they chased me...err...stalked me around town for 2 hours before finding my car parked.
Other than that and the douchebag that pulled me over for going "35 in a 30" who I don't think is on the force anymore, I have no issues with the Moorhead PD.

I think that flipping someone off could be considered Disorderly Conduct, but no way is that assault. I looked it up and all you have to do is "alarm, annoy, or harrass" someone to be guilty of Disorderly Conduct!
