Constabulary notes from all over

December 5, 2008

The ever-vigilant law enforcement community meets the health care system:

Item: Massachusetts state trooper pulls over woman in labor; asks "what's under your jacket?" while writing ticket for driving in breakdown lane en route to hospital.

Item: New Hampshire state trooper pulls over man after PET scan; asks for proof of medical procedure after radioactive isotope detected by anti-terrorist hardware.

Can't be too careful, eh?
