Sheriff Won’t Remove “In God We Trust” From Police Cars After Many Complain
The city of Brevard County is dealing with a controversial situation. The sheriff’s department is being instructed to remove a familiar slogan from their vehicles. The phrase “In God We Trust” is commonly placed onto the sheriff’s department vehicles.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is an American non-profit organization. This organization is headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. They promote a policy where church and state are separated. They also make it a point to inform the public about issues pertaining to agnosticism, atheism, and nontheistic traditions.
The Brevard County Sheriff is not budging on this issue. He supports this motto and he also declared that this motto is also endorsed by the greater community in Brevard. Sheriff Wayne also points out that taxpayers will not have to pay in time or money because this slogan is printed on the side of vehicles. Apparently, the Boniface Heirs Automotive Group is paying for part of the Sheriff’s department’s decals with this slogan.
Sheriff Wayne realizes that groups such as the Freedom From Religion Foundation are always trying to change people’s choices and tradition. However, Sheriff Wayne will not back down form this organization. He the people of Brevard county to understand that he will continue to serve them without being intimated by groups such as the FFRF. While Sheriff Wayne realizes that many people don’t agree with the slogan “In God we Trust”; he is aware of the law. He knows that he has a legal right to place this slogan onto public vehicles. He is not breaking the law by allowing this phrase to remain on sheriff department squad cars.
