An Indiana state trooper has been fired after drivers complained that he gave them more than tickets and a lecture about road rules after pulling them over — he also shared a little religion on the roadside, in one case asking a woman if she had “accepted Jesus Christ as her savior.” The State Police said on Friday that the trooper, Brian L. Hamilton, a 14-year veteran, was let go on Thursday for repeatedly proselytizing and for handing out a religious pamphlet during traffic stops. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/09/us/indiana-state-trooper-is-fired-for-proselytizing-during-traffic-stops.html?smid=fb-share |

To beat a ticket, I would sing, "You have a friend in Jesus".....................

He was busted in 2014, and continued to do it. If he feels his religion is beyond the law that's fine, but if that's the case, he shouldn't expect to be employed to enforce the law. |

The former officer can find solace by reading the book written by one of his victims : "I Found Jesus During a Traffic Stop, on Highway 27".................

He can read that man-made drivel at home, or at his place of worship; not while on the job. He is case for the shrinks. |

You really have to wonder what's going on in some people's heads. How on earth did he think this was appropriate or normal behavior? |

Anyone would do anything if they believe they can get into Heaven and be forever happy sitting on some clouds. |

This war against Christian public officers is more fun to watch than the war on Christmas................
