Nurse Pulled Over For Having Anti-Bush Sticker

The Emory Wheel reports:
An anti-Bush bumper sticker has led to a battle over First Amendment freedom of speech rights for one nurse working on assignment at Emory University Hospital.

On March 10, nurse Denise Grier was surprised to find a police officer behind her with the lights on his patrol car flashing.

"I didn't think he was pulling me over," she said. "I wasn't doing anything wrong."

But when Grier slowed down, the officer followed suit. He cited Grier with violating a state law prohibiting lewd or profane stickers and decals on vehicles.

The bumper sticker for which Grier was pulled over takes a dig at President Bush. It reads "I'm Tired of All the BUSHIT."
Free speech isn't popular everywhere.This is really amazing what's next to be regulated?
