. . . don't flip off the judge (http://nwitimes.com/articles/2006/08/16/news/top_news/0c05113f4f4a3778862571cb0080a90a.txt):
VALPARAISO | Jonathan Wilson faced no more than a fine Tuesday after failing to convince Porter Superior Judge David Chidester to throw out a speeding ticket.
That is until Wilson reacted to the unfavorable verdict by first flipping off the judge with his middle finger and then calling him an obscene name.
Wilson, 31, of San Pierre was hauled off to jail and ordered held until he writes a letter of apology to Chidester. And not just any old apology, but one that convinces the judge Wilson understands why he was found guilty and that the correct way to challenge the verdict is through the court of appeals.
Wilson is also required to agree to abide by all future court orders, including paying the original fine and obeying a 365-day license suspension.
Wilson was found guilty of driving 70 mph in a 55 mph zone along Ind. 49 during the early morning hours of June 2, according to court staff.
