Overreaction. :O
Oh goody gumdrops, you only "rarely" go to jail for insulting a cop, bureaucrat, or politician!Temujin said:

No offense to any of our resident Frogs, but maybe the French do give up too easy
Obviously the latter. It's so dumb that someone can be punished in any way whatsoever for ranting about cops on the internet.Temujin said:

any idea what he wrote?
was it just insults or also slander?
because there is a difference between writing that he was pulled over by some **************************** cops and writing the cops name and insulting him personally for doing his job, when clearly he was the one in the wrong, endangering other people driving under the influence...

Considering he got away with drunk driving without punishment, I'd say he's rather stupid to go whine about it on Facebook after. Serves him right.
Anyone knows his name? I'd like to send him the "What kind of inmate are you?"-test. I bet he'd get the "Soap dropper."
Just like me.

You think it's okay that he get's away with something that can lead to the death of people who are only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time? You get jailtime for your first offense here in the US.Calodine said:
Edit: And that after getting let off the hook, he proceeds to complain about his good luck on ****ing Facebook?

You rarely go to jail for insults at all, the only way i could see is that if the insult were personally aimed at the officer (with his name and ID number), if it's the case, you can run screaming ''free speech'' as much as you want, it isnt free speech to insult someone personally, and it would be a worst assault on international free speech than to consider an insult as such... still has to be a pretty hardcore insult to deserve 3 month of jail
but it'S hard to forge an opinion on this guy as there so few information published, its a very odd story

I found this too while searching, this man was ordered not to contact his wife after divorce because he harrased her through the phone, he joined facebook and facebook automatically sent a friend request to his wife, BOOM! JAIL TIME! this was in 2007
he said: ''To be honest, I don’t think the judge understood how it works either''
thats an interesting matter, because there is no special approach for facebook in any court of law, yet facebook became the most popular website community, it basically is a micro society operating outside international law, everything done is relative to the user's government, they actually teach how to use facebook properly (and hack it) to new CIA and CSIS agents.
Facebook is the biggest info virus ever created, not only does it contaminates the computer cookies and temp folders, but it contaminates the human mind by creating a completely autonomous virtual universe influenced by the capitalist society it was born from. Facebook is a step towards globalisation of the private life of every single human being with a compouter decent enough to connect to the internet.

I read an article awhile ago about Lawyers getting disbarred after they complained on Facebook about Judges' rulings.
Now see, everything up until this paragraph was decent and credible, and then you fell off the deep end into "tinfoil hat" territory. The only real lesson people need to realize about Facebook is to adjust their privacy setting to "friends only" instead of "everyone" when they're making a rant. And even then (gods forbid), maybe they should just grow up and talk about other people in a more civil fashion.Deloused said:

Don't do drunk driving and this won't be a problem. Also, don't break laws and this won't be a problem. Also, don't whine about the cops stopping you after you've done something clearly illegal and this won't be a problem.
Let me know when this happens to someone who has no previous criminal activity.
