[QUOTE=Nightblade;1024698]I didn't even know we had that. Apparently Bruno isn't right very often... :p
It's possible the ticket was an "attitude ticket" for mom - the officer may have started out with the intent of just giving a warning.

There are actually three sides to every story. The truth usually falls in between. Even people who never lie will present the facts in the way that most supports their position.
Right... and we haven't heard from the toddler either.
His intent makes a big difference.
Maybe he saw the cop coming and did it to show defiance against authority.
If that's the case, the little sucker deserved a ticket.
Who's authority was he defying? Mother's? Officer's? Maybe he just wanted to rage against the machine and was protesting all forms of regulation that encumbers free will and expression, or maybe he was obeying the laws of biological physics and had come to the conclusion that when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. I cant wait until the prosecutors get him on the stand, I hope C Span airs it, it should increase the viewership.
Maybe mass protest will ensue:
Toddlers of the world...UNITE!
This hearkens back to the great toddler uprisings of the early 20th century, and even unto the children's rebellions of the really dark ages before nightlights were invented. Lest we forget or fall deaf to their ears, may this innocent yet powerful chorus resound once again!
United we stand,
Unzipped and unafraid
While the intolerant fuzz
Can clean the messes we made.
On the stand or on C-Span
We will stand for what's right
On the streets with our wee-wees
Our freedoms we'll write
Some say we dunno better
Others push the law to the letter!
But it really don't matter
'Cause we'll tinkle alive and even if deader

I remember and shudder whenever I think about the "no nap" strikes of the early eighties, frightening stuff!
