Re: Houston woman arrested for asserting her constitutional

I'm not on either "side" (I don't know all the facts, I wasn't there at the time) but I believe her defense to what they wanted to charge her with, but chose the "in the street" offense instead is:

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/d ... /pe.38.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sec. 38.15. INTERFERENCE WITH PUBLIC DUTIES.
...
(c) It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (a)(1) that the conduct engaged in by the defendant was intended to warn a person operating a motor vehicle of the presence of a peace officer who was enforcing Subtitle C, Title 7, Transportation Code.
...
(d) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that the interruption, disruption, impediment, or interference alleged consisted of speech only.
