Police ticketed an Ohio man who warned drivers of a drunken-driving checkpoint -- although police departments are required by law to notify the public.

Doug "Deo" Odolecki stood Friday night on a street corner in Parma with a white poster board marked with black letters reading: “Check point ahead! Turn now!”

Lt. Brian McCann asked him to remove the portions urging drivers to turn around, reported the Cleveland Plain Dealer, saying it was obstructing police business.

But Odolecki refused, and he was issued a ticket by Officer James Manzo -- who was involved earlier this year in a $40,000 police brutality lawsuit.

Odolecki said he's used the same sign for two years without incident, and he said Manzo and McCann “tried to be a civil as they could knowing they were violating someone’s rights.”
