A man in a court dispute with police turned up wearing a ‘F*** the police’ t-shirt – and won the case.
Michael Burns, of Broward County, Florida, told a judge he had been unfairly targeted by officers after recording them trying a disperse a roadside gathering.
Despite arriving to the resulting court case wearing the audacious – if crude – t-shirt, Mr Burns won the case.
Writing on LiveLeak, Mr Burns said that he regularly records police but in this instance Florida state troopers took exception to his filming.
‘It was public property and I was told they were only being kicked out to ‘ruin their fun,” he wrote.
However, after driving away from the scene, he was followed by officers and pulled over, where he was told to remove sticker apparently obstructing the number of his number plate.
‘I refused to answer any of his questions and advised him I would see him in court to fight it when he told me I had to take it off.
‘I went to court wearing a shirt that said “F*** the police’ and while I was told I had no 5th amendment right and I was not actually allowed to ask any questions during my trial, I somehow still manage to win.’
