Another Classic Example Of War On Christmas: Cops Write Ticket For Man Who Puts Holiday Lights On His Car

Many people use lights to decorate their homes, trees and lawns around the holidays. But one Lowcountry man did something a little different – except now it’s gotten him in trouble.

“I just like to see people’s reactions, spread a little love, joy – I call it 'spread the glow',” said Brandon Wooden. And spreading the glow is exactly what he does. Wooden has been decorating his car with holiday lights for the past 5 years.

 

However, the police aren’t as thrilled. Wooden was pulled over and given a ticket; but, it wasn’t his first time catching law enforcement's attention.

“The first time they only pulled me over because they wanted to take pictures of the car. The second time it was a warning, and the third time was for improper lighting of a vehicle.”

It cost him a hefty $232.00 citation.

Yeah alright that’s enough. This is fucking bullshit. As if the unofficial war on Christmas being waged by package thieves, moldy Christmas trees and all other holiday haters wasn’t enough, now we’ve got the police trying to take things to another level. WHEN DID PEOPLE STOP LOVING HOLIDAY CHEER, HUH? Who the fuck thought it wise to pin a badge on the chests of these Scrooges.

Our guy’s out here, trying to remind everybody that Christmas is in four days, making his car more visible, and spreading the glow - how’s that a bad thing? I feel like this guy is doing everyone a favor. He’s covering all his bases and going the extra mile to ensure some holiday safety. No way people miss this guy coming.  But hey, apparently not only do the police hate the holidays, but they also hate safety.

I'll say happy holidays if you insist (like the good Jewish boy I am), I'll shake my Christmas tree to make sure there's no dangerous pollen on it, I'll poop in my packages to make sure that nobody steals them, but fuck no I won't take the hypothetical Christmas lights off my car.
