They could have hurt my unborn fetus," she said. Did anyone else catch this? As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I adopted sweet mushy nicknames for my unborn baby. IMHO she is a typical "above the law" liberal. She was warned and there were other officers involved. So while I cannot say I agree with tasering a pregnant lady, what were they supposed to do? I suppose she was upset to get busted in a school zone, that's a hefty fine and several points on the license in NC- from what I have heard.

Whats the big deal about signing a traffic ticket. You have the ticket, you have the vehicle registration , you have the drivers picture on the permit, the ticket itself is an affadavit that the cop gave it to you. I have never understood the big deal about refusing to sign for it.Hand the thing to the driver if the driver refuses to sign and they dont show up for court get a warrant and have them arrested.
That having been said. This woman wasnt attacking the cops she was ressisting arrest by hanging onto the steering wheel. she was resisting an arrest that didnt need to be made in the first place in my opinion./If you get a ticket from a camera you dont sign it, but you pay it.Many time angry people refuse to sign a ticket , so the police use their authority to make it a big deal by arresting someone.I personally think its an abuse of authority.Politely tip the hat ,say see you in court and get back in the police car and look for the next victim.

I noticed the same line, but mostly because I cannot imagine the sort of person that still thinks of their baby at this stage of development as a 'fetus'.

They could have noted that she refused to sign the ticket and sent her on her way, with her ticket. It's a traffic ticket for crying out loud. She isn't a bank robber or car jacker.

Agreed. If I were pregnant, and the police said get out of the car or I'll taser you...I'd get my ass out of the car to protect my baby. I didn't like the way she called her baby an unborn fetus. That's creepy.

I thought it odd that she refered to her baby as a fetus too! Geez, by the time your eight months along you've got a name picked out and a nursery ready - how weird!
