Woman gets ticket for anti-Bush bumper sticker, sues
Posted on October 17th, 2006 by Chris Heath
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) — A woman who was ticketed for having an obscene anti-Bush bumper sticker filed a lawsuit in federal court Monday against a county in the state of Georgia and its officials.
A DeKalb judge threw out the ticket in April because the state’s lewd decal law that formed the basis for the ticket was ruled unconstitutional in 1990.
Grier also seeks a declaration in federal court that her bumper sticker is considered constitutionally protected speech because she is “uncertain and insecure regarding her right to display her bumper sticker in DeKalb County,” the lawsuit said.
