There was an earlier discussion about this on FR about a month ago if I remember correctly. I searched, but could not find the thread.

The American Civil Liberties Union is demanding that the city of Greer drop all charges and apologize to the Gaineys.

Ok from now on I'm going to ignore all rules regarding license plates, insurance etc. As soon as I run out and get an "I worship Satan" bumper sticker, I should be scot-free.

Who paid for the officer's court costs? Hopefully not the volunteer officer. One thing about a law suit, lawyers aren't free, unless you being represented by the ACLU, and they get their share.

Call me anti-religious if you like, but I don't think this guy has any business sending out letters to people he's interacted with in a professional capacity to come and visit his church. I mean, he wouldn't have had their name and address to send the letter to if he hadn't stopped them, right? You can see where that might make them think that he stopped them just so he could proselytize (sp?) to these heathens. Maybe he only decided to do that after he had stopped them, but then does he send out such letters to everyone he pulls over for expired tags, etc?

"If I had not wrote the letter inviting them to the church, then God would have something to say to me. He reached out to that family. They pushed and slapped his hand away. That hurts my heart," Stewart said.

I must have missed the part in the Bible when Jesus had armed Roman centurians detain pagans and then "invite" them to church.

The Gaineys said the letter, which "called them to listen to the words from the Baptists," was a religious threat and a violation of their constitutional rights

Religious threat? That's pathetic.

This is a religious threat:

If this was a religious threat and violation of the Gailey's rights, then the ACLU is a religious threat and a violation of our rights.
