[Military family member]

A county judge in our area but still 40 miles away once decided that all speeding tickets more than 5 miles over the limit had to appear in person, no exceptions. My then 8.5-months-pregnant wife got a ticket, and we tried to pay the fine ($65) via mail because she could not travel. So the judge issued a warrant, and two deputy to arrest her.

We felt so bad for the deputies who were so embarassed at having to arrest an obviously pregant woman. I followed them down, and we paid the bail, spent the night at a friend's who lived in the area, and went home. Our daughter was born four days later.

I'm sorry you and your wife had to go through that. I'll bet you've never looked at the courts the same way since.

Sounds like a Jeff Foxworthy Joke:
You could be a redneck if...you issued an arrest warrant on a traffic ticket for a woman who's eight months pregnant.
