Yesterday, exactly four years after his arrest, Pastor Stephen Joiner was awarded over $10,000 in damages from the City of Columbus for his unlawful arrest during a pro-life demonstration. 

On March 30, 2011, Pastor Joiner was arrested by Columbus Police Department Captain Frederick Shelton for simply holding a sign on a public right of way supporting the right to life of unborn children. As justification for his arrest of Pastor Joiner, Captain Shelton cited the City’s parade ordinance, which required “groups” of even one individual to obtain a parade permit prior to engaging in speech on a public sidewalk.

The notion that one man can constitute a parade and that small groups of individuals need to seek permission and a permit from the government before they can open their mouths on a public sidewalk is repugnant to the Constitution and undermines the foundation of this nation.
