The problem is that this likely does violate the obscenity standard that the US Supreme Court decided. One could argue that the police were doing their jobs. It's not so black and white, even if we want it to be.I hate this is the guy that will help us uphold free speech, but it be what it be.
Agree but charges have already been dropped and the guy is planning a lawsuit:The problem is that this likely does violate the obscenity standard that the US Supreme Court decided. One could argue that the police were doing their jobs. It's not so black and white, even if we want it to be.
Free speech is often a more complex issue than absolutists make it out to be, both legally and morally.
In a May 9 letter to the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, Assistant State Attorney John Foster Durrett stated that all charges against 23-year-old Dillon Shane Webb have been dropped, and that his "I Eat Ass" sticker is in fact protected by the First Amendment.
"Having evaluated the evidence through the prism of Supreme Court precedent it is determined the Defendant has a valid defense to be raised under the First Amendment of our United States Constitution. Given such, a jury would not convict under these facts," said Durrett in the letter.
An attorney for Webb told Anne Shindler of First Coast News that a lawsuit against the Columbia County Sheriff's Office is now likely.
"Now we transition from defense to offense," said the attorney. "The First Amendment was our defense. What is Sheriff Hunter's defense? We will find out!"

Overzealous sheriff's deputy who should have just let shit go
The use of the word 'likely' rather than 'possibly' was wrong. But the rest is not controversial.
