The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I want to know where exactly on the books it says this specific act is illegal.

They charged him with indecent exposure. There's not a "defecation on a deceased marsupial with the intent to disrupt traffic" statute.

Sort of seems like there should be now though, eh?

It's only illegal in Florida during rush hour. When traffic isn't so congested, lots of people are doing this and it's hardly headline material.

That's not how the law works, silly. They just arrest the guy and then find something to charge him with.

Yeah this sounds like quite a load.
