Joe and Steve are stuck in rush-hour traffic. A gap in traffic appears in the adjacent lane. At the same time both Joe and Steve steer their vehicles in the direction of the gap. Joe must brake suddenly to keep from hitting Steve's vehicle

Angry at Steve's quick lane change, Joe makes an obscene sign with his finger. Steve, a police detective driving an unmarked police vehicle, flashes his badge in return and directs Joe to pull his vehicle off the roadway. Steve would act correctly if he:
A) took no enforcement action because Joe's symbolic speech does not constitute an offense under this factual situation.
B) arrested Joe for road rage.
C) arrested Joe for disorderly conduct.
D) issued a citation to Joe for making an obscene gesture in a public place.
