Talk to the hand.
In the brief, Craig’s legal team argues that the senator’s actions were not criminal because Minnesota’s disorderly conduct law requires that conduct alarm or anger “others,†while Craig’s actions only affected a single individual  the officer who made the arrest.ÂÂ
The brief also argues that Craig’s hand gestures are a form of constitutionally protected speech.

Cool! So the next time I get caught speeding, I can do the “pump it up (and down)” movement, and I will be released? (pun intended)
My hand is sweating just thinking about it…
What planet do these lawyers come from? Ork?

I think that Craig AND the arresting officer should resign.
