Well, 500+ posts in, and I have to side with the couple. The law is in their favor. The other side has failed to persuade me to their side.

The Ohio law defers to Michigan. Michigan law clearly makes an exception for breast-feeding.

I loved it when she told him to look up the law and he charged her with, what was it, keeping an officer from doing his duty? Now keep in mind he was getting paid, she was missing an important appointment, and they ended up throwing her in jail (don’t question authority or you will pay for it). He had the duty to not jail a citizen unnecessarily. To see support of these militant actions is to say the least, disheartening. In my conservative world, the government doesn’t get to just keep making up charges until it gets you.

Some of you actually said it wasn’t the officer’s job to know the law. What sheep. We are expected to know it; they sure as hell are expected to know it. And the sarcasm when the husband actually DID know the law was unbelievable. “Well that is just terrible. How dare he? What a troublemaker. Let’s find a way to get him too!” ‘Conservative’ is harder and harder to define these days.

She was not just missing an important appointment, she was on the way to pick up an expert witness that was going to testify in the trial to prosecute a cop that raped her after he pulled her over in a deserted area!!

The people here are Howlin because she didn't pull over immediately. Naturally, they missed the part of the story her husband told where SHE'D BEEN RAPED ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASIONS BY POLICE OFFICERS, ONE OF WHOM WAS ON TRIAL!!

Man, is this place going downhill fast.

BUMP. It's quite sad to see the cliquish, mob mentality of vindictiveness toward this couple because they live according to different principles than most.
