(PLANO) Brandy Bottone is reported as saying she’s taking her case to court, July 20th. Bottone was driving in the HOV lane of Highway 75 when she was stopped by a police officer and asked where, as required, at least one other passenger was in her vehicle. She suggested her unborn daughter was riding with her. The officer replied by handing her a $275 ticket for violating HOV lane rules.
Bottone suggests Texas can’t have it both ways; with the state penal code now recognizing an unborn child as a person, the state transportation code does not at this point. Bottone says she’ll challenge the ticket and the premise.
