...Intrepid whizz by and noticed the baby's arms seemed unnaturally stiff.This is why you buy animatronic babies--she was just trying to do things cheap and that's what happens.

I lived in Atlanta for five years before I ever used the HOV lanes, while carting my children in the backseat. For some reason, I thought the lanes were for commuters, and that children didn't count. All that time wasted...

Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason. She should definitely have a baby just so she can use the HOV lane.

HOV lanes are a disgrace.

I agree. That is what they are for, to get other drivers off the roads. The baby wasn't going to take up any space in the normal lanes.

I never want to hear from liberals about "rights" - at best they confuse them with what are only privileges, and at worst - they love taking all our rights away. Tying it in here, the fact you "have to have" a baby seat is outrageous. The fact you can be fined and molested for not having a baby seat - or the "correct kind" is asinine. And of course, they're trying to increase the age of child seats; ridiculous and a BOON to all the baby companies (whom liberals hate - right?).

I agree, what's the point of giving the advantage of carpooling if the other person you are 'sharing a ride' with is under the age to even drive???

Absolutely!
They are public roads.
Apparently, some "public" are more equal than others.

I knew a pregnant woman in Michigan who was speeding on a two lane highway, trying to get to a store or gas station where she could have a rest stop.
She got a ticket.
She went to court, and pled her case before the judge, saying that she was pregnant and that it is harmful to a baby if the mother holds her bladder for too long.
The judge was annoyed, but let the woman off. It pays to be pregnant in his jurisdiction. (Or have a husband who is a partner at a big Detroit lawfirm.)

Awwwwwww. Busted!
Beats trying to join and work with the sane citizens in eliminating these bureaucratic totalitarians who keep making up laws and rules to control our lives.

I've said it before: if we have to have these lanes the requirement should be two licensed drivers.
Why, I used to drive a co-worker into Boston, the guy was legally blind and can't ever get a license.
We drove in the HOV every day and if you think I shouldn't of had that right then to hell with you.

A guy in the Twin Cities did this with a full sized, fully dressed mannequin on I 35 W some years ago. The cop said he patrolled the same stretch of road most mornings and noticed the passenger wore the same clothes and hat every day.

You do realize that the "animal cops" are by and large non-profit organizations given some enforcement power for animal-related crimes, and most are funded independently, right? Do you also realize the staggeringly high correlation between violence towards / abuse of animals and violence towards people?
To: 109ACS
Does that mean she was tested and found to be HOV Negative?LOL:)
To: Williams
A few years ago, a hearse driver tried a variation on this with a body in the coffin in back. It didn't work. The judge ruled that all of the bodies had to be alive.
