Searched and arrested for holding a sign. Is this "obstructing justice"?

Woman says she pent 12 hours in jail after warning drivers of a speed trap
Natalie Plummer says she was just trying to save her fellow Houston residents from the hassle of a speeding ticket. After seeing a police officer "pulling random cars over" for speeding, Plummer recycled a grocery bag into an impromptu road sign, writing "SPEED TRAP!!" in black ink and holding it up for other drivers to see. Although Plummer says she stayed on the sidewalk, she was allegedly stopped and searched by officers, who said she was "obstructing justice." She was cited with a misdemeanor and spent the next 12 hours in jail. "He couldn't take me to jail for holding up this sign," Plummer said. "So all he could do was make up something fake about it."
