Nurse sues over ticket for anti-Bush bumper sticker

[Bustem' Down]

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- A woman who was ticketed for having an obscene anti-Bush bumper sticker filed a lawsuit in federal court Monday against a county in the state of Georgia and its officials.

Denise Grier, 47, of Athens, Georgia, got a $100 ticket in March after a DeKalb County police officer spotted the bumper sticker, which read "I'm Tired Of All The BUSH**."

A DeKalb judge threw out the ticket in April because the state's lewd decal law that formed the basis for the ticket was ruled unconstitutional in 1990.

And now the horsecrap. :drumroll:

Grier is seeking damages from the county for "emotional distress," according to the lawsuit.

The ticket was thrown out!!! And how much emotional distress could there be from a $100 ticket that she doesn't have to pay! This is not repubs or dems, this is sheer greedy ignorance.

IMO she needs to be issued a new ticket for an amount from 10-15 times the original ticket plus court costs just for wasting the courts' time and money.

Because its a Sue happy nation, and the longer she keeps saying shes distressed the more likely she'll win something, even though its been thrown out.
