Cops in Georgia have way too much time on their hands!

Denise Grier is a nurse at Emory University hospital in Georgia.
On March 10, she was driving home from dinner when a Dekalb County police officer pulled her over.
“At least initially, I was just surprised because I hadn't done anything wrong,” she says.
“When he approached the car, he had his hand on his weapon, and I was in my nurse's uniform with a stethoscope around my neck. He asked for my license, and then said, 'Any idea why I stopped you.'
“I said no.
“ 'You have a lewd decal on your car.' ”
Grier says she immediately thought that one of her kids had put something nasty on her bumper as a joke.
“But then he mentioned the Bush sticker,” she says. That one says: “I'm tired of all the BUSHIT.”

By the way, this is not the first time someone in Grier's family has gotten into trouble over a bumpersticker.
Last year, she says her 20-year-old son was pulled over in Athens, Georgia, for having a bumpersticker that said, “Bush Sucks Dick. Cheney Too.”
She says the police officer told her son, “If you do not remove the bumpersticker, I'm taking you to jail.”
So he removed it.
“He thought it was kind of funny,” she says, though she told him she would rather go to jail than take her bumpersticker off. |
