A reverend from a Calvary Chapel ministry in california was arrested for reading the bible to a small group who was waiting for a Dept. of Motor Vehicles office to open in Hemet, Calif. The charge?? The officer says he arrested him because he was preaching to "a captive audience" and "impeding an open business", but the DMV office was closed at the time, and calling it a captive audience is ridiculous (according to the preacher's lawyer).
