“A deaf Oregon man has filed a lawsuit claiming that police violated his civil rights when they laughed at his request for a sign language interpreter during his arrest.  According to the site, Updike used sign language to ask officers what he’d done to result in his arrest, and he also tried to speak the words, ‘What did I do?’  The suit claims officers pushed him roughly into a patrol car and laughed at him.  An interpreter was assigned when Updike appeared again two days after his arrest.  He was released from jail, and all charges were dropped against Updike eight days after his arrest.”
