You know how we often warn each other about upcoming speed traps, specially amongst motorcycle riders. Tap on the helmet, flashing lights or what this courageous woman did.... put up a sign.
Natalie Plummer noticed that cops were pulling over speeders in Houston, and she was disgusted. So she used a paper grocery bag, and wrote on it that motorists were approaching a speed trap.
Nice? We think so, but the Houston constabulary didn't think so. In fact, they were so pissed off they couldn't make their quote of fines, they went and arrested here. She got thrown into the slammer for 12 hours!!
And this while the US Constitution guarantees free speech.... which is exactly what she was doing. The officer threatened to arrest her for "obstructing justice", but instead arrested her for "standing in the street".
How low can cops go...
