A resident of New York decided to express his support for the second amendment by using his first amendment rights and placing a pro second amendment sign on his property. Someone took offense to the display of support for the Bill of Rights and removed the sign on several occasions. Fed up with having his signs stolen the property owner who had been putting up the signs placed a camera near the sign in order to catch the thief. That thief who got caught on camera turned out to be a local police officer.

John Gibson, resident of the Somers, NY, community of Lake Lincolndale, had finally had enough. After his third pro-Second Amendment lawn sign mysteriously disappeared, he set up a hunting camera to catch the culprit. Much to his surprise, the culprit turned out to be a Somers police officer.
Mary Beth Murphy, an official from the Town of Somers, contends that the police officer was acting because Gibson’s sign was in the right-of-way, rather than on his property. However, numerous facts cast doubt on this contention, including photographic evidence of the officer’s expression and his violent attack upon the sign, and the apparent lack of any notice or citation.
