I was standing at the end of the fence alongside I-74 near Knoxville with two others to get a clear view of the President as he drove by (we were told by a State Trooper that it was a clear zone and alright). As the lead vehicles approached, one Officer on a motorcycle obviously thought we were in the wrong area and made us move. We had to run out of the way as he yelled at us to get further back. This added another thrill to the exciting clear view of the Presidential motorcade.
