Mom dies while being ticketed.

An article posted on digg.com reported an 83 year old woman that died at the back of the car while her son was being ticketed by the police. This happened somewhere in Memphis.

Apparently, the guy was pulled over because his 'tags' were expired. I'm guessing tags are sort of like those renewal stickers we have issued by the LTO. According to the news clip online, Wayne Abel, the son, even asked that the officer simply follow him to the hospital and write him the ticket there, but the officer refused.

Seriously, in times like these, kotong doesn't sound too bad at all. But seriously, if you do wrong thing and zoom past the cops, you go to jail. On the other hand, if you do the right thing and pull over, your mom dies. Either way, we're screwed.
