Has anyone ever had someone think that stuttering was against the law? Yeah, believe it or not, back in the day, I had someone think that if I got pulled over and stuttered, then they'd arrest me. And they didn't think that I should be out past daylight hours because they thought that the police would think I was on drugs or something like that and they'd arrest me and throw me in jail. So, I guess, according to them, a stutterer should have a curfew and not go out at night just because they stutter and they might get arrested. I didn't know stuttering was against the law. Do I need a lawyer in case I get arrested for stuttering?
