'Gay sin' arrest preacher to sue Cumbria Police

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/england/cumbria/10174393.stm

A Christian preacher who told police homosexuality was "a sin" is planning to sue for wrongful arrest.

Dale Mcalpine was charged with a public order offence after speaking to a community support officer (PCSO) in Workington, Cumbria, in April.

The charge was later dropped by Cumbria Police, which said it respected freedom of expression.

Mr Mcalpine said he would launch a civil action against the arresting officer and the chief constable.
