Stupid Traffic Tickets

When my son was a toddler, he had febrile seizures when he had a fever, or was outside and got too hot. They were just like a grand mal seizure.

Anyway, he had a seizure at home when he was about 3, and I put him in the car laying across the front seat with his head in my lap so if he vomited, he wouldn't aspirate and choke. I was speeding, and a cop pulled me over. I told him what was wrong and asked him to escort me to the hospital about 2 miles away. He turned on his siren and gave me an escort, then came into the emergency room and gave me a ticket for not having my son in a car seat! Luckily, my son's pediatrician offered to go to court with me and tell the judge that it would have endangered my son's life to put him in a car seat during a seizure, and the ticket got thrown out. But I oculdn't beleive the nerve of that cop! This happened in TN. BTW.

wow, I am glad that the judge is on your side and show his understand on your son's emergency against cop...

I am also glad that your son is okay and healthy.
 
I remembered when I was stopped by US Milatary Police in caserne that's time I was ill with flu-virus because I "ignored" the sign "STOP" last April. I drove very slowly and make sure that other car are there or not. They stopped me before I got out of caserne and told me what they saw. They noticed that my face is very white and also noticed my weak voice when I spoke that I am deaf. All what they asked me: Are you okay? I told them that I just got flu-virus and want to go home ASAP before it will get worst (I already vomited at restroom few minutes before leave work). They hurried to warn me to not do that again next time and let me go without ticket me... *phew* It's good to know that there're some good and understanding police.

Thank you. He outgrew the seizures...hasn't had one since he was 7 years old. And we got lucky....a female judge with 12 children of her own! She was definately sympathetic to a mtoher and child.

Judge with 12 kids.... You are very blessing to have her on your court instead of single and motherless or fatherless judge. WHEW
