I don't think it's grounds for pulling someone over and they definitely have no right to tell her to remove the sticker, but I can see how someone might mistake a buckeye leaf for a marijuana leaf.

My cousin was told to remove his OSU when he moved and went to grade school in Florida.

So she should remove it because the cops were to dumb to know it wasnt a marijuana symbol? And to add to their stupidity they thought that people who traffic marijuana put decals on their car to let the world know?

Same state where the troopers murdered a dog several years ago:

http://edition.cnn.com/2003/US/01/09/police.kill.dog/index.html

Not to take this to the politics board, or to offend the many good cops we have, but there has to be accountability for screw-ups like this. And by accountability I mean terminations of employment, it is ridiculous that in the private sector one can be fired for any or no reason but because of the public sector unions we have to support imbeciles like the cops in this case and in the link I posted.

I live in Clarksville, TN and there are PLENTY of Ohio State fans here. I see OSU license plates, Buckeye leaf decals, t-shirts, etc. all the time.

I have yet to see any fan with a Buckeye leaf decal get stopped by Clarksville's finest.

I think the lady's full of shit.

Wow. That's lIke the third story I've seen this week (obviously not all recent articles) about cops shooting a family dog just because.

That's so fucked up...

One of the stories involved the police responding to a call, going to the wrong address mind you, and shooting the family dog. I have to say I'd go Chris Dorner if a cop ever murdered my dog.

Tennessee is known for having traffic stops on out of state drivers and then searching them for drugs. The reason people are pulled over are usually very minor or completely made up. There was who last year recorded their trip to bonnaroo because they had been pulled over 7 times previously going to bonnaroo in years past. The family was was made up of two fifty something parents and their college aged son. The father was a lawyer and had filed complaints on several of the stops before but the highway patrol would never do anything about them. Sure enough only 11 miles into TN their VW Van was pulled over for a broken taillight and they pulled everything out of the car and Put the family in two separate police cars while they searched. The lawyer told the police there was a camera in the car and that his taillight wasn't broken. After they searched everything the cops left the film show both tail. Lights working fine. The officer still didn't get in trouble because he claimed he mixed up their VW with another one driving nearby. A lawsuit is still in process?
