My dad and I made a sign a few years ago.The sign read like this.
Drunks
Against
Mad
Mothers
Then one of my brothers wrote fuckthe police in small letters on the bottom corner of the sign.You had to be close to see it.We left the sign out all day long and the police never said nothing.A lot of people driving by would raise their beer as a sulate.That night we built a small fire in a metal box that night and sat around and drank.The sign was in back of my truck and the police stop to see about the fire,no problems when they was leaving they see the sign in my truck so they come back.We get tickets for open fire and displaying profanity on a sign.The sign was not even displayed.Some of you people think that cops are good.But we got screwed over because of something my brother wrote that was in back of my truck.$375 apiece.Then the judge tells us that the sign was legal saying drunks against mad mothers.What do ya'll think?

I think the D.A.M.M. part of the sign was alright, but having the f word on the sign made it a bad sign. A black sharpie covering your brothers blunders could have saved you from the ticket. You gotta take responsibility for your sign no matter what your brother wrote on it. Possession is 9/10 of the law and you had the sign... not your brother. It was kinda crappy for them to come back and issue the citations, though... I'll give you that much.

I think, why are people driving by your house also drinking beers at the same time? People who are driving by raise their beers, and the cops instead of busting DUI drivers write you a ticket for public drunkeness. Sounds like we should start testing nuclear weapons again above ground in your town.

With political correctness today we do NOT have freedom of speech, You cant say anything these days without offending someone somehow, clearly you have offended the police, but it is a profanity on a sign because of the swearword on the sign. I wish you luck.

I agree with you, you have freedom of speech, and if it was unnoticable, I can't see how it could be considered profanity... Of course, I don't think any words are "bad" words, what makes them bad?
In an unrelated topic... Why the confederate flag?

You have a sign that says F*** the police and you wonder why they gave you a ticket. You are an idiot.

The sign was legal. And the cops were willing to ignore it, and you.
But when the cops saw the sign, they got annoyed, and decided to enforce the law rigidly, rather than let what you were doing slide.

You had a sign that said f*** the police and you really didn't think they would stick it to you? Thats just being stupid....on your part.

Your question demonstrates that you are an ignoramous. You also have anti social behavior -

Cops are just a necessary evil.

Maybe you should have offered them a beer?
