Court Rules Pointing Your Finger at a Cop

Court Rules Pointing Your Finger at a Cop is Illegal

In Police State USA, the way you position your hand in a certain fashion around police officers can and will result in you being kidnapped and caged. According to a recent ruling by a Florida court if you point your finger at a cop and that cop thinks it looks like a gun, you can go to jail.

According to three Florida judges, forming one’s hand into the semblance of a pistol and pointing it at an authority figure is not protected by the First Amendment, and is considered as ‘threatening death or great bodily harm.’


“A judge has ruled that a Florida law used to arrest a man accused of threatening a Hialeah police officer is perfectly constitutional. The judge joined two others in Miami who have ruled that the misdemeanor law does not infringe on constitutionally protected free speech.

“‘True threats’ to injure persons are not protected by the First Amendment,” Miami-Dade County Judge Maria Ortiz wrote in her order earlier this month.”

The supposed “true threat” happened when Alex Romero pointed a finger gun at an off-duty police officer and said, “Officer Hernandez, I got you now!” The two apparently knew each other from previous run-ins, and Hernandez said the encounter made her fear for her life.

Perhaps Romero’s status as an ex-con and a “305” tattoo on his eyelid made him appear to be a “bad dude” to Hernandez. It’s more likely that Romero was joking around, albeit in poor taste. Even considering Romero’s status and appearance, the fact that a completely harmless hand motion can be construed as a “true threat” in the eyes of the law is troubling.

These 'judges' are wrong.

WATCH: Cop Walks Up to Family BBQ, Pours Water on Their Food, Walks Away

Community policing, in its most basic form, argues that there is a right way to interact with community members, and there is a wrong way. And when it comes to BBQ cookouts, it may be best to partake, rather than attempt to shut one down, as it violates the city’s code for outdoor grilling.

One NYC police officer reportedly told a group of residents barbecuing on the sidewalk that they had to move. And when they chose not to turn off their grills to adhere to NYC regulations, he took matters into his own hands.

In New York City, the code is pretty simple. One cannot have a fire or grill within 10 feet of a flammable surface. Many residents take to the sidewalk to show off their culinary skills, grill their food, and share the experience with their loved ones.
