[/quote] In Kentucky? Maybe. [/quote] The judge was in error. He clearly overstepped his legal authority. He infringed on the woman's constitutional right to free speech by demanding she take down her facebook page as part of the terms of her probation. She was within her rights to fail to comply with a legal order that is unconstitutional. [/quote] Sure, the judge was playing Salomon. Sure, she had the moral and even legal right to disobey his nutty ruling. But that doesn't mean doing so isn't pretty stupid. [/quote]

this woman sounds like a real asshole.
but to be arrested for mocking something on fb seems pretty outlandish to me.
"A Kentucky woman received jail time after posting a Facebook comment mocking a DUI charge, Patrick Jones reports.
Paula Asher was allegedly drinking and driving when she side-swiped another vehicle and was arrested. She later posted the following comment on Facebook: “My dumb (expletive) got a DUI and hit a car LOL.”
A judge ordered her to take down her Facebook page, and when Asher did not comply, she was held in contempt of court and ordered to spend two days in jail."
that cannot be legal to arrest someone for saying that???
