Did you know that you can get cited for jaywalking even while you’re in a coma?
While she was in a coma, a police officer arrived to issue her a ticket for jaywalking. And while it appears that Davis likely was jaywalking, her family is wondering whether it is moral or wise to issue infraction tickets to people after they experience such a serious trauma.
“If she was jaywalking, then she was jaywalking. But maybe you give it to me at a later time. Don’t give it to me when they are rushing her into the operating room.” The Las Vegas police department defended its officers saying their officers would never do anything deliberately insensitive
Which is a strange response. Didn’t they just do something deliberately insensitive?
The Las Vegas girl in coma case has left some to speculate that the ticket was issued as a precautionary measure, in an attempt to prevent a lawsuit. But even that doesn’t make sense.
