Don’t think you can get away with insulting a police officer with sign language. But a deaf man in the U.K. did exactly that, a court has heard.
Linley Hassan, 25, was arrested after he called an officer “pig” in sign language, according to the Metro.
Peter Kelly, a prosecutor, said, “He was making a sign that the officer, who understood sign language, knew to mean ‘pig.’”
