So, I have a local police officer who has constantly harassed me for several years (he thinks I'm a druggie). I'm also an EMT-B. Now, I'm not on a department, but I have a nice shiny EMT sticker for the front window of my SUV. But last time I had one (I was on a dept.) He once wrote me a ticket for driving on a lane closed to through traffic while responding to an assist call. He told me to take it off or he'd write me a fine for "falsely identifying as a member of emergency services" Now, I'm not impersonating an EMT or FF, It shows that I'm an EMT. In accordance with MA law, it's legal so long as I have it somewhere not obstructing my forward view. Should I refrain, or get the ticket and head off to court if he gives me one? Half our town (including his own colleagues believe he's dirty)
Is this a violation of my 1st amendment rights, or my right to present my EMT status?
