LAWYER: How Telling a Cop to "SHUT UP" Turns Into a Civil Rights Lawsuit

Is it Legal to Tell Cops to “Shut Up?” & equally important, if you get a super aggressive cop who doesn’t know the law, can you sue them if they arrest you? In this episode, I am going to analyze Mr. Freeman’s encounter with the McKinney cops and show you: 1. Can you legally tell a cop to “shut up”? (In other words, is it protected speech to verbally disrespect or criticize a police officer?) 2. Can you be arrested for it, and would such an arrest be lawful? 3. What are the chances of actually being convicted for saying something like that? 4. If you are arrested merely for speech, can you sue the officers (and overcome qualified immunity)?
