OKC officer pulls man over for anti-Obama sign on vehicle
NewsOK ^ | 2/19/09

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.

We need more Andy Taylors and fewer Barney Fifes in law enforcement.

John Jay was right. The First Amendment is finished because of 'Thugs in Robes'

It gets worse:

"But his run-in with the law wasn't over yet.

''The Secret Service called and said they were at my house," Harrison said."

How long will it be before they open a gulag?

Undoubtedly the MSM will express its outrage at this gross display of ignorance. It’s outrage with the driver and his sign, that is.

‘’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.”

This gent needs to be identified as the first official political prisoner of the Obama regime.

Wish there were more details about the size of the size and where it was placed, as the story reads like a single source version.

I am actually surprised they didn’t slap a generic ‘disturbing the peace’ charge on him for the heck of it.
