Profiling: Cops target vehicles with Bible on the dashboard


Drug couriers, it appears, like to put off suspicion of their vehicles by putting a Bible on the dashboard as they travel.  So, in a countermeasure, cops target cars with Bibles on the dash to be pulled over as suspected for couriering drugs.

Isn’t that a violation of someone’s First Amendment rights?  Not according to the federal courts in Nebraska, no.  The case is Frazier v. Lutter, a March 27 decision, which Prof. Friedman details slightly more.

Say what?  Suddenly you have more sympathy for imams kicked off of airplanes?
