Should be sued.  Proselytize on your own time, do your job.

ETA: The agency deserves the suit because they should have fired him the first time.  It's not something that one needs to be "trained" on. They gave him the opportunity to do it more than once.

Sue him and prison time.












Just fucking kidding. A stern warning for him not to do that again would be good. Fuck a lawsuit.

Yup. I'm sure the ARFCOM Bible Brigade will be along shortly to tell us all the reasons why this was OK, but if you're in uniform and acting in an official capacity as an agent of the state ... you have an Establishment Clause problem if you're advocating your religion.

Did you read the article? They already did that, it didn't work.

But Hamilton was sued in September of 2014 in a similar case, which was settled. Court papers indicate he was told then not to be witnessing on traffic stops.

Always ends in a complaint.

Same as writing a red light ticket, always goes to court.

Want a complaint?  Write improper use of passing lane. Straight to IA on those.

Who are the retards filing those complaints? I've gotten warnings before - at least one of them was a pretty chickenshit stop (but technically a good one), and was happy to drive away without a court date.

That's not true I had a  State trooper give me a warning for going 90 in a 55 And I didn't complain one bit in fact I got out of my car and walked back to him to thank him and shook his hand

Should apply to admonishments as well. I don't give a shit what you think of my driving habits or that you don't want to have to see another bloody corpse halfway through a windshield. I'm a grown man, just give me the ticket or warning and let's both be on our way.

I used to tell one of my partners that constantly but he never listened. Skip the lecture and just write the ticket.

People actually file complaints about warnings?  I've gotten a few warnings over the years, and each time I totally deserved that ticket.  So when I got a warning instead, I just said "thank you."

Need pictures of "victim" to determine guilt of course.

WTF complains about getting a warning? "Yes sir, no sir, thank you sir"  Sit there and take the lecture!

Likewise, if you're writing up a ticket STFU and hand it over - lectures are only accepted with warnings

What NY Criminal Statute did he violate Counselor????


Since he didnt learn his lesson from the verbal warning he already had, 30 day suspension.... if he does it again after THAT..  Then he can preach all he wants on the Unemployment Line.  But then again we had Progressive Discipline..barring a criminal act you COULDNT fire a guy for something like that, you had to work up to it.

I'm the first person to throw a stone when a cop is being a dick.










Asking if you're saved doesn't even peg on my radar as a concern.  


 









Especially if it's a warning!

Happened to me.

 



It was night time, and noticed a car without a tag light.




My intention is always give a warning on those.




Driver pulls over, and I explain the reason for the stop (no tag light).




Driver starts throwing out the race card.




I explain that I couldn't tell who is driving the car due to the dark window tint and it being night time.




Needless to say, I still gave a written warning.




Get called into the Chief's office a few days later, due to the motorist filing a complaint for racial profiling and harassment.




After the Chief hears out the motorist, the Chief asks me for my side.




I explain the reason for the stop, the dark window tint, and that the stop took place in a dimly light area.




I also produce a family photo of my wife (ex-wife now), my 2 step daughters, and myself.




Chief looks at the photo and hands it to the motorist.




After several seconds, the Chief tells the motorist to get the hell out of his office with his unfounded BS.




I was married to a black woman at the time and had 2 step black daughters. Plus I'm half Asian and half white.

Just more Butthurt from the grievance industry.  Should he preach to people on the job?  Of course not, but there was a time in the not so distant past that people didn't walk around looking for things to be upset about.  Now, everybody is offended about something.

He's been warned before, what do you want them to do? Just let him keep doing it?

This isn't about Jesus, it's about overstepping boundaries. That's a bad thing.

I actually don't agree. While his actions were entirely inappropriate, a warning the first time and firing the second time was the correct course. And that's what they did.

ISP handled this fine.

No, his department should discipline him.  Lawsuit is stupid as the plaintiff didn't suffer any real damages.
