When Ellen Bogan was stopped on U.S. 27 by Indiana State Trooper Brian Hamilton on Aug. 9, he said it was because she made an illegal pass.
Hamilton gave her a warning ticket for speeding and he threw in something else: a religious pamphlet asking her to acknowledge she was a sinner.Now Bogan, 60, is suing Hamilton saying his on-the-job actions violated her First and Fourth Amendment rights, WLWT.com reports.
Bogan says Hamilton kept the police car lights flashing during the traffic stop, but after the officer handed over the warning ticket, he asked her if she had a home church and if she accepted Jesus Christ as her savior.
He also handed her a religious pamphlet that asked readers to acknowledge they are sinners.
