An Indiana state trooper has been fired for preaching Christianity to motorists during traffic stops. Officer Brian Hamilton has twice been sued by drivers after he pulled them over for speeding and asked what church they attended and if they had been "saved."
"If the Lord tells me to speak about Jesus Christ, I do," Hamilton said. "You can't change what the Lord tells you to do."
