Braxton Hick

So a couple is racing down the breakdown lane on a highway in Massachusetts. Have they robbed a bank? Can't be bothered to wait in the stop-and-go traffic? Trying to get all their Christmas shopping done? Not quite. The woman is watermelon pregnant and having contractions three minutes apart...desperate, yeah? I mean, who wants to deliver a baby in the car on the highway in a traffic jam? Not me, thanks. I was there, and it's not a fun place to be (on the way, barely making it to the hospital).

So they see a cop up ahead--hooray! oh what a relief---but wait! He doesn't escort them with lights and sirens blazing. No no. Instead he makes them WAIT while he finishes writing another ticket and then Writes. Them. A. Ticket. Insult to injury: he makes her "prove" she's pregnant. Wants to see her belly because, you know, so many people try that "I'm pregnant" story when they're speeding.

Am I way off base in finding this a bit ridiculous?
