• explaining that Bolden, Evans, Person, Anderson, and Brooks involved “a face-to-face confrontation with the officer, and ... opprobrious words [that] amounted to far more than a one-word insult.”
• affirming obstruction conviction based on defendant’s refusal to remain in his vehicle as ordered by police officer
• reversing a conviction for disorderly conduct under OCGA § 16-11-39(a)(3) because the act of calling police officers \you bastards\ as the defendant drove past without any further confrontation was not sufficient to threaten an immediate breach of the peace
• reversing a conviction for disorderly conduct under OCGA § 16-11-39 (a) (3) because the act of calling police officers “you bastards” as the defendant drove past without any further confrontation was not sufficient to threaten an immediate breach of the peace
• reversing a disorderly conduct conviction where the defendant shouted “you bastards” at officers while driving by because the defendant “was not engaged in a face-to-face confrontation with the officer tending to incite an immediate breach of the peace when the words were spoken”
