BUMPERSTICKER  (CONT)

This shouldn't keep happening 15 years later, he says.

After the criminal case is over, Weber says he and Grier may file a civil rights claim.

The Dekalb County Police Department would not discuss the facts of the case.

"We don't comment on other officers' tickets," says Officer Herschel Grangent, who handles media affairs. "That officer is making his decision on the street. And it's going through legal channels now."

By the way, this is not the first time someone in Grier's family has gotten into trouble over a bumpersticker.

Last year, she says her 20-year-old son was pulled over in Athens, Georgia, for having a bumpersticker that said, "Bush Sucks Dick. Cheney Too."

She says the police officer told her son, "If you do not remove the bumpersticker, I'm taking you to jail."

So he removed it.

"He thought it was kind of funny," she says, though she told him she would rather go to jail than take her bumpersticker off.

Grier has a court date of April 18.
