Minorities are especially likely to protest through "hidden transcripts" because of the danger of direct communication. A 'car is not just a transport, but a speech act."' Last, "the conduct was reasonably understood as expressive of a social and political protest." As a speech act, joyriding is entitled to certain constitutional protections.
