Police had no sympathy for a father driving his family to hospital to avert tragedy
A man in Manitoba, Canada has been given a whopping $1,000 ticket and a suspended driver's license as punishment for speeding to the hospital in order to save the life of his pregnant wife and his unborn child, reported the Winnipeg Free Press.David Weber and his wife Genevieve one day last March were on their way home from a day of shopping when she began to have contractions. Genevieve was 38 weeks pregnant and the couple knew, because of complications she incurred while giving birth to their first child, they had very little time to get her to the hospital for a Caesarean section.

If you follow the story it also tells he declined a police escort. So I doubt he will beat ticket
he would had a better chance had he been drinking.
I would think that going 105 mph would put his wife and unborn child into more jeopardy.
9:40- You should re-read the story. It says
"The couple's first reaction was that of relief, thinking the officer would hear their situation and offer them an escort to the hospital. Forget it."
"The second officer also ignored the situation, started another lecture on speeding, and called an ambulance instead of allowing Mr. Weber to continue to the hospital, or escorting him there."
They DID wish to have an escort but were declined by the officers.
its not the officers job to prove innocence or guilt. he witnessed a illegal act, he gave them a ticket. im sure in court, the office will most likely testify that "yes, there was a pregnant woman in the back of the car who appeared to be going into labor." the judge will throw it out with a warning or some crap.
this story is typical leftist agenda meant to show the cops being bad guys.

Like I said, if you FOLLOW the story you will read where they were offered a escort prior to being pulled over and ticketed.
You do know what follow means don't you? Oh, I guess not. Click the link in the first story and it will take you to another report.
Then you will FOLLOW the story.
Sorry to bust your bubble. I know how much it means to you to rag on people.
