Local Officer Tickets Driver for Anti-Bush Bumper Sticker

A woman was pulled over and ticketed by a DeKalb county police officer for having a "lewd decal" on her car - a bumper sticker that says "I'm Tired Of All The BUSHIT." The officer told the woman that the sticker violated a county ordinance and wrote a ticket for $100. The woman, Denise Grier, plans to challenge the fine on the grounds that the ticket violates the First Amendment, that she was targeted for her political expression. As she should. The ticket should never have been written in the first place.

Andisheh has a more eloquent post here.
