Oh this is priceless.
An Oklahoma City police officer wrongly pulled over a man last week and confiscated an anti-President Barack Obama sign the man had on his vehicle.
The officer misinterpreted the sign as threatening, said Capt. Steve McCool, of the Oklahoma City Police Department, and took the sign, which read “Abort Obama, not the unborn.”
Chip Harrison said he was driving to work when a police car followed him for several miles and then signaled for him to pull over.”I pulled over, knowing I hadn’t done anything wrong,” Harrison said in a recent phone interview.
When the officer asked Harrison if he knew why he had been pulled over, Harrison said he did not.
”They said, ‘It’s because of the sign in your window,’” Harrison said. ”It’s not meant to be a threat, it’s a statement about abortion,” Harrison said. He said he disagrees with the president’s position on abortion.
”I asked the officer, ‘Do you know what abort means?’” Harrison said. “He said, ‘Yeah, it means to kill.’ I said, ‘No, it means to remove or terminate.’”
Harrison said his sign was to be interpreted as saying something like: Remove Obama from office, not unborn babies from the womb.

But his run-in with the law wasn’t over yet.
”The Secret Service called and said they were at my house,” Harrison said. After talking to his attorney, Harrison went home where he met the Secret Service.
”When I was on my way there, the Secret Service called me and said they weren’t going to ransack my house or anything … they just wanted to (walk through the house) and make sure I wasn’t a part of any hate groups.” Full story is [here]
It’s getting scary out there folks.

Holy cow that is a bit scary. I thought we had Freedom of Speech.
read the comments following the story some of those are even more scary
Well, if there’s ONE thing you can take away from this, it’s that you NEVER try to quote the LAW (our your rights) to a police officer, no matter how RIGHT YOU ARE, especially if they”re YOUNGER than you…LOL!
(you justhave to suck it up, which is not MY preference)
Somehow they don’t like being told they MAY be WRONG…wonder why?
Personally, I think they should THANK us for being so well-schooled in matters of law and the CONSTITUITION.
Knowledge IS (still) power, btw.
Not against this president we don’t have freedom of speech. He’s going to get a free pass for the next four years.
I am sure the bumper sticker I saw today wouldn’t get anyone pulled over.
“Muslims Unite! Go! Go!”
Seriously.
It was from Michigan.
