Is there an incident from which you speak?

How would a police officer *know* if they were mentally handicapped?

What would a mentally handicapped person be doing driving?

A lot of *ifs* in this and who gets to determine who gets a free pass for beligerant behavior?

        Yes, let's take other officers away from their duties to handle one mean old lady. - Eri - 6/12/2009 10:00:45 PM
