stupid connecticut crime

i can't call HER a criminal. she hasn't been tried yet. hmmmmm but it sure is a stupid series of events (and dangerous)

i'm thinking it's NOT a good thing to be late for work on your first day. i'm also thinking
#1) GET THE HELL UP EARLIER THAN NORMAL ON THAT FIRST DAY
#2) GET YOUR ASS IN YOUR CAR EARLIER THAN NORMAL ON THAT FIRST DAY
#3) IF IN FACT YOU GET A TICKET ON YOUR FIRST DAY OF WORK, BRING THE TICKET INTO WORK TO SHOW THEM YOU'RE NOT LYING

of course, since this woman had stolen plates, i don't think she was ever ACTUALLY going to get to work that day any way

Police: Late For New Job, Woman Flees Traffic Stop
By DAVID OWENS The Hartford Courant
VERNON - A woman pulled over for speeding on Route 83 near Connecticut Golf Land about 8:40 a.m. Thursday, but intent on getting to a new job, sped off after giving her license to an officer, police said.

Maria J. Alipio had told Sgt. Bill Meier she was late for a first day of work at a new job, and nearly struck two other officers who tried to stop her, police said.

Alipio, 49, kept going even an officer in a car pursued her south on Route 83, said Vernon police Sgt. Bill Meier.

"I turned around to walk back to my car and she takes off," Meier said.
