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?
Precisely. That's the part that makes me think that there may be something to this complaint.
I agree. Write them a ticket and then leave them alone. I'd hate to have some lib cop sending me gun control pamphlets.

He is bound by his service to Christ to spread the gospel. This is his chosen method of reaching out to people. Plus his actions are protected by the 1st Amendment which prohibits the Government from interferring with his religion or the way he practices it.
If people don't like the letters, toss 'em, just that simple. They haven't lost a thing except a few moment of time.
