Live Interview: Lucas Jewell Gave Florida Cops 'the bird', Got Pulled Over by an Armored Car

Lucas Jewell was Pulled Over by Florida’s Camoflaged Cops for Flipping the Bird.

While we don’t recommend flipping off the police while driving, if you’re in a hurry, it is still a First Amendment protected right. Lucas Jewell found himself in the sights of militarized police after insulting Alachua County Sheriffs. but he knew his rights, confirmed by a recent court ruling that flipping the bird isn’t sufficient reason to initiate a traffic stop by police.

Now this Florida man, a Navy Veteran and former Gainesvilly city commission candidate says he’ll file an internal affairs complaint with the Alachua Sheriff’s office and possibly a lawsuit in the courts too.

An interview worth watching.

I'm very impressed by him, he's down to earth and reasonable.

I'd vote for him for city commissioner. But I'd have to make him do something about his wild hair
