Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is a federal-local law enforcement
program that promotes local police efforts to fight terrorism. It existed before 9/11,
but since that day, it has helped local law enforcement agencies strengthen their
efforts against terrorism. It does this by improving data and intelligence collection
and processing, capitalizing on technology advancements, encouraging
communication with other public agencies, and helping local agencies to respond to
citizen fear and prepare to assist potential victims.

Cameron observes a campus police officer writing a parking ticket for a car that is illegally parked. Even though it is not Cameron's car, he believes the officer should not issue the ticket because the no parking sign is hidden by a bush. Anyone parking their car would be highly unlikely to see the sign. Cameron says to the officer, "That's an unfair bunch of crap. No way this guy could have seen the no parking sign. The university is just a money-grubbing organization that does not give a damn about students." The officer is not amused or enlightened by Cameron's comments and tells him to back off. Cameron says, "Back off yourself." Cameron has committed:

A) no offense because Cameron's comments are protected by the First Amendment.
B) obstruction or retaliation.
C) interference with public duties.
D) false report to a peace officer.
