An Oklahoma City man was pulled over by police and later visited
at home by the secret service for displaying an anti-Obama sign.
According to a report in The
Oklahoman, the sign, which read "Abort Obama
Not the Unborn," was seized from motorist Chip Harrison's
car by police officers who cited it as a possible "threat
against President Obama".
A lieutenant supervisor later called Mr Harrison
to inform him that the Secret Service had been contacted on
the matter.
When Mr Harrison returned home he found secret
service agents waiting for him.
''When I was on my way there, the Secret Service
called me and said they weren't going to ransack my house or
anything ... they just wanted to (walk through the house) and
make sure I wasn't a part of any hate groups." Harrison
is quoted as saying.
The agents interviewed Mr Harrison for 30 minutes
and then left, deeming him not to be a threat.

The police returned the sign to Mr Harrison and
admitted that it was a violation of his constitutional rights
to have taken it, as police spokesman Steve McCool explains
in the following video:
Mr Harrison has said he feels his First Amendment
rights were violated and is taking legal advice on the matter.
The incident is similar to a report
we carried last year detailing how two friends
from Las Vegas were pulled over, asked for identification and
searched all due to the fact that they had Ron Paul and Infowars
bumper stickers on the back of their car.
