    Was going to say…

    A judge agreed with her, and the June ticket was dismissed.

    Still, it is annoying that state and municipal officers can drag you to court in your pregnant condition to prove what the legislature has already decided.

    Almost as though the police exist to harass and obstruct the rights of citizens, rather than to serve and protect them.

      Technically it wasn’t the police’s job to make that kind of interpretation but after the precedent had been set they should apply the court’s decision

        This was the second ticket she’d had dismissed. The courts had already made the interpretation. Cops simply weren’t abiding by it.
