'New York State Senate Wants To Make It A Felony To 'Annoy' A Police Officer' -- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/06/new-york-annoy-poli...

Now it says there must be physical contact, but the cop would probably just bump into you to get the charge. Look at what happened to Adam Kokesh during the Philadelphia Smoke Down Prohibition event. They claimed Adam assaulted the officer when he clearly just bumped into him and was trying to gain his balance.

These people take serious things like assault and water the definitions down to suit their corrupt MO.

EDIT: Tangential, but Kokesh was just arrested again during Smoke Down Prohibition D.C.

Better do that soon:

Some places will charge you with "addressing words to officers". The real problem is a cop can arrest you for anything and call it obstruction of justice. And then either the prosecutor will reject the case or you'll get charged and have to spend $2000+ to plead not guilty. Or pay an attorney $250 to get a plea deal of the lowest possible infraction.

There are zero repercussions for a cop falsely arresting you and no one cares about the truth or justice. Just pay to make it go away.

Good luck doing that in the US.

I have done that plenty of times. As long as you do it where there are witnesses and you don't do anything else...

If you did that in the UK, you would almost certainly be arrested.

and beaten by the cops in France, especially if you are not white.
