Trooper Preaches About Savior During Traffic Stop
An Indianapolis woman said that Indiana State Police Trooper Brian Hamilton pitched Christianity to her when he pulled her over for an alleged traffic violation in August on U.S. 27 in Union County. After handing her a traffic ticket, Hamilton allegedly asked Ellen Bogen these questions: Did she have a home church? Did she accept Jesus Christ as her savior? The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana and Bogen have filed a lawsuit in federal court against Hamilton, stating that he violated her First and Fourth Amendment rights when he probed into her religious background and handed her a church pamphlet that asks the reader “to acknowledge that she is a sinner.”
