This was a weird thing to see on Twitter in a promoted ad the other day. Can I sue for defamation since none of this actually happened to me? 😉

Recently, the Baton Rouge traffic and safety folks decided to test the traffic in our neighborhood, because they had been getting a lot of complaints about people entering the neighborhood.
