So what was the alternative? Let her go loose after she was seen going over the limit in adverse conditions? Troopers have a good feel from experience how fast she was going, and she acknowledged that by saying she was late for work.
No good deed goes unpunished; she had a 50-50 chance of getting off with a warning.
Uh, by that measure she shouldn’t have been arrested then. She actually won the coin flip but they arrested her anyway, laughing about it. That’s pretty unprofessional.
You win the bootlicker prize!!!
A) A “judgement” call is not made by flipping a coin, it is made by a reasoned evaluation of the circumstances and potential consequences.
B) If they truly believed her actions presented a clear danger, they showed disdain for the public they claim to be protecting by doing a coin flip.
C) Speeding is a civil offense, not a criminal one
D) While it might sound appealing to lock up every person doing something deemed unsafe in an automobile, it is a practical impossibility. She should have been cited, admonished and perhaps followed to work. Not thrown into jail.
