NOPE.... It's bullshit. Unless you are in a count proceeding on Sunday or on the Fourth of July. When was the last time you heard of anyone being in court on a Sunday, let alone the Fourth of July.

 

The only loophole is the church thing, being arrested going to or returning from church. And that is only being arrested, not cited for traffic violations which is not an arrest. And the disorderly conduct could be a charge if you were to resist arrest on the basis of this law, thereby cricumventing it's protection.

Actualy a citation is a form of arrest, however 90% of the time you get a ticket instead of actualy being hooked up and taken to jail. so by the letter of the law, if, say, you are on your way to worship on a sunday morning and get popped for speeding, you could very well get out of it.

 

I don't however think i will be the one to test this theory lol.

Car meets/ races are now moved to Sunday. Be sure to wear your "Sunday Best". Dress code in affect.

You can still be arrested, you are just allowed to sue the arresting officer for $100.
