We stood out at a rodeo event then a tourist town area called Deadwood, South Dakota. As usual, the police were called on us as the world hates God's truth.
They lied and said I was YELLING AT PEOPLE and standing in the middle of the street. That was a lie as it is not what we do ever and it is sad but true how the world lies to silence God's truth!
( See the video below)
I explained I do not do those things and then the officer said I could not use my voice amp. I checked that day and was told by one officer earlier that I could use my amp. Then I was told I could not by this officer as they have a no amp law. I willingly complied and turned off my speaker and just used my voice to preach. At first, the officer was going to try and run me off still. I challenged that and requested that I just have my 1 st amendment right in the streets but he was not letting me. (this is were arrests can happen as we have a right to preach and some police deny it. A righteous judge will toss it all out of court asap but it is a hassle still)
Then he was told by his dispatcher, I can preach all I want just NOT use a amplifier. He then changed his tune and said we were welcome to preach all over. He did kindly asked me if I would avoid one food place as the owner was complaining a lot about me. I told the officer I wanted to help his job and said, no problem. He was very grateful and he thanked us for what we do. He got a gospel card and a offer to help him in the faith anytime. We respect officers and the law always for God's glory!
Be kind, be respectful, do not act hostile, explain you are a law abiding preacher even as you ask for your free speech rights. Thank them for their serve and that goes along way with most all police.
Note: if you street preach men, do not let them claim that people complained and do not like what you are saying allow them to stop your speech rights. Who says the world will like biblical preaching and exposing of sin and worldliness?
Can you imagine if I complained about all the swearing and nasty music going on there just because I did not like it? Would the police go stop all those peoples worldly ways? Of course not! They would say; go home or do not listen to it and just move on. The simple gospel is offensive. As long as you are not blocking, hassling people or yelling / threatening them, the police are NOT to allow you to be run off or silenced. We have the same right on the streets to preach the gospel as they do to listen to worldly music, cuss and swear.
As proof it was not my noise level that they hated; just down the street was VERY loud motorcycles, bands playing and an Indian dance festival WAY LOUDER THEN ME! It is the conviction of God's Word they hate but it will convict and will bring a harvest in the Fathers times.
We are thankful that we could remain preaching and holding gospel signs. In fact thousands of people got the call to repentance and the good news of Christ! Listen and see how to deal with the police.
