DUNDEE, Scotland,  – Tony Miano, an American evangelical street preacher and former policeman, must be getting used to being arrested for his beliefs in Britain. Miano was arrested January 8 th , in Dundee, Scotland , and remanded in custody to appear before Dundee Sheriff Court the next day. Charged with a public order offence and held for nearly 30 hours, Miano was allowed to return to the US on the condition that he returns to the court in April.

The appeal from Christian Legal Centre (CLC) follows the arrest this month of Tony Miano in Wimbledon after police received a complaint of homophobia from a member of the public who reportedly told him to "f*** off".

Officer Javier Pagan, the Boston Police Department’s liaison to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities, said their policies are similar to rules in effect in W...
