Officer promoted religion during traffic stop

LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY [info]sunfell)

This article describes an encounter by a Druid couple with an overzealous volunteer policeman:

Tony Gainey and D.J. Gainey said reserve officer Tony Stewart pulled them over because of the bumper stickers on their car. One of the stickers read, "It's a druid thing."

Both of them believe in druidism -- a nature-and-art focused religion.

The officer cited Tony Gainey for driving with a suspended license, not having proper license plates or proof of insurance.

Gainey said Stewart asked them about their bumper stickers. They said a few days later they received a card and letter from Stewart.

In the card he wrote: "God is calling you to listen to words from the Baptists. This is clear! If you deny this, then you are pushing away the hand of God and that would not be wise."


Does that sound like a threat to you?
