how about this scenario in Rev911-topia?
Place a "boot" on her car IF her signature is legally required.
If her sig was not legally required - let her go home and sign the cop up for a refresher on "reasonable force, reasoned responses"
How long would it have taken the officer to say "look lady my supervisor says I have to arrest you if you don't sign this ticket"? about 2 seconds, he would have made it seem as if the decision was out of his hands and she probably would have signed it. (maybe not) but she was not going to run anywhere. When I was eight months pregnant I couldn't run. And my hormones were out of wack too. Can anyone say "sensitivity training"? That officer must be a real piece of work at home with the wife and kids.
