32 mph - WHEW ! -

That's a school zone. You'd be whistling a different tune if she had ran over little kids. NO ONE speeds in a school zone.

PLEASE!!!!!! School zone speed limits are speed traps. 20 mph is overkill. 32 mph is perfectly safe in all but the most congested school zones. Don't be one of those whiny "It's for the children." ninny's.

32 is hardly speeding or out of control.

Even so - does this warrant tazing a preganant women who refused to sign a ticket?

So while youre right.....and it may be my kid - It might also be your dear wife thats yanked, tazed and spontaneously aborts your child -

Keep it in perspective - and remember the severity of the "crime"

It's tough to make a case that 32 MPH is "speeding" in any circumstance, and up here in MA, School Zones are simply speed traps, i.e., revenue enhancers for the local PD.

one more thought before I abandon the thread - what if the driver was elderly, had an implanted pacemaker, and physcially could not exit the vehicle or communicate that refusal effectively?

would the police be justified in tazing him/her - disabling the pacemaker, causing a heart attack.....all because he/she refused to sign an incriminating instrument of the court by driving 32 miles an hour

Now - ask yourself if someone galloping on a horse would have been stopped...........probably not - but why ?

She didn't, and neither do the multitudes who do this every day. School zone limits are a joke, unless there are children out on the street.
