Similar in ruling to two other cases where middle fingers were raised at police.

A Raised Middle Finger Is Protected Free Speech, Appeals Court Rules
Quote:
A raised middle finger is a form of free speech, a court has ruled, allowing a lawsuit by a driver who made the vulgar gesture at a police officer.
The decision came from the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit last week, but it started with a spirited exchange in June 2017, when a woman gave the middle-finger salute to a police officer who had just written her a ticket.
