BOSTON – A man in Massachusetts is appealing a $100 ticket he got for driving to a hospital in the breakdown lane of a gridlocked Boston highway while his wife was in labor.

The Boston Globe reports that a state trooper pulled over John Davis and his wife Jennifer for using the breakdown lane on Nov. 18.

The Dracut man says his wife's contractions were three minutes apart. The couple says the trooper made them wait five to 10 minutes while he wrote a ticket for another car on Route 2, asked to see Jennifer's belly to prove her pregnancy, then issued them a ticket.

The couple made it to Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge. Their daughter was born five hours later.

State police say no discipline is likely for the trooper.

This is where men should experience child birth just once, if he knew how it felt he'd a let them get on to hospital! He should of escorted them, than wrote them his stupid ticket! :getyou

WHAT AN IDIOT. I hope the judge makes a spectacle out of him. What if it had been his wife and child.

It's been all over the news here and I heard on the 11:00 news tonight that they are doing an internal investigation of the officer. What an asshat!

The news said after the officer wrote the ticket he still held them up from going to the hospital & intentionally!
Sounds like he's the devil disguise!!!!!

A woman in labor should be able to easily claim temporary insanity for anything she might do to him.
