    It’s also dumb because it can easily be abused by the police. They could easily say you were doing it when hailing a cab or waving to your friend. There is a very fine line between Heil Hitler and Hail Cab, about 45° to be exact.

      Do you actually think this is likely to be a problem?

      Hell, if you’re actually hailing a cab, they’d likely need to chase down that cab by the time they got to you.

      As stupid as it sounds, I can only imagine some poor guy with swastika tattoos trying to explain how he was only waiving a cab driver down when he gets spear tackled by some crazy Islamic state supporter

      How do you think this goes in court. If this is abused it means free millions from the state for your rights being trampled on.
