Indiana trooper pulled over woman to ask if she’d accepted Jesus Christ as her savior: lawsuit [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/10/indiana-trooper-pulled-over-woman-to-ask-if-shed-accepted-jesus-christ-as-her-savior-lawsuit/An Indiana woman says a state trooper pulled her over this summer and asked if she had accepted Jesus Christ as her personal lord and savior.
Ellen Bogan said she was stopped in August by Indiana State Trooper Brian Hamilton, who asked whether she had a home church and handed her a pamphlet asking her to “acknowledge she is a sinner.”
“It’s completely out of line and it just — it took me back,” Bogan told The Indianapolis Star.
She filed a federal lawsuit with the American Civil Liberties Union against Hamilton, claiming the trooper violated her First and Fourth Amendment rights.

I realize keyboard warriors are a dime a dozen, but I promise you, had that been me, I'd have started filming (which I do anyway whenever circumstances warrant) and read this guy the riot act. If true, what a JACKASS.
