Driver of Truck With Abortion Images
Driver of Truck With Abortion Images Threatened With Arrest in Kansas
Olathe, KS (LifeNews.com) -- For the third time this year, local officials are battling the drivers of trucks bearing graphic images of abortion and threatening them with arrest. In the latest case in Kansas, Ronald Brock was threatened with arrest and impoundment of his vehicle. According to the pro-life group Operation Rescue, Olathe Police Sgt. David Haldeman told Brock he must leave the city or "live with the results." Officials said Brock would be charged with "promoting obscenity" if he remained in Olathe, for images displayed on his vehicle that depicted aborted babies and others comparing abortion to genocide during World War II. Brock had spent the previous day in Olathe parked outside the Johnson County Courthouse and OR told LifeNews.com he was observed by dozens of police officers without incident. Even though Brock believes Olathe police would be violating his First Amendment free speech rights, he immediately left Olathe to avoid an illegal arrest and vehicle impoundment.

I think the guy should not be driving around getting people angry at seeing these type of images. Graphic images can be said to incite passions with a certain type of person. This in turn can lead to a movement against the vehicle in question. It would be the police officers responsibility to make sure the owner of the vehicle is safe from harm. The owner would be asked to leave. Granted it is his right to display these images but what about the rights of those who do not want to see these images? A vehicle at times can not be ignored.
