Flipping off a state cop is stupid. Arresting the guy with the overactive middle finger is stupid and tyrannical, as well as a PR bungle.
Colorado state police high command belatedly figured that out, and dropped the charge that could have sent our citizen to jail for six months.
The ACLU got into the act with a petition noting again the constitutionally protected speech may sometimes be rude. It's still protected, and cops who disagree should either develop thicker skins or seek other employment, perhaps as aromatherapy trainers.
The flipper's name is Shane Boor. How prescient.
