    CHARGES DROPPED against a North Houston man who was arrested in October for holding up a sign warning motorists of a speed trap. Ron Martin was charged with violating a sign ordinance, but he maintained he was exercising his constitutional rights of free speech.

    “The Constitution still applies in Frisco, Texas,” Meisinger said. “Ron Martin is not going to be bullied by anyone.”

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Social media has definitely changed how effective DUI checkpoints are. I just read an article in the paper about how they had one at the I-35 South exit right by a major multi-block bar/clubbing district in Kansas City last night, and they only caught eight people. People are finding out about these ahead of time.
      "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

        Yeah, there are apps for that -- even for appradio for your car's GPS/Navi.

          A good buddy of mine is a LEO here. I asked him about the flashing lights for warning about police ahead. He said there's no law against it, and our municipal judge would throw out any ticket written for it.

            Yeah, I think local municipalities are adding this as a statute so they can write money.

                  Or telling people that without Christ they are bound for an eternity away from the presence of God?

                  Seems to me that "freedom of speech" is highly subjective.
                  You said it, moss.
