The girl didn't have a legitimate reason for speeding nor was she in need of an escort. Her father was
already at the hospital and unless she's a doctor, she wouldn't have been any help nor would she be allowed to see him if his condition was indeed critical.

No he says he did not believe her story, something he could have checked over the radio. Escort her to the hosiptal, if she lied then take her to jail.

If the father drove himself to the hospital, then there's no reason for the police to have prior knowledge of the event. Therefore I suspect verification would have taken longer than just accepting the ticket. Instead, she drove away, compounding the problem exponetionally.

But what do you think she would feel if she finally arrived to find him dead.
|
As I indicated above, if his condition was that critical, she would not have been allowed to see him immediately upon her arrival anyway.

I'm sure [me included] have driven fast in an emergency than I would have normally.

That's my point, SHE wasn't in an emergency nor did she have anyone in her car that was in an emergency.

I have done before when time is limited. My brother got bite by a copperhead in the arm. I did what I had too to get him to the hosiptal. If a officer had stopped me, I would have to him I had an emergency and to meet me at the ER. I would expect for the officer to have some compassion.

Again, SHE did not have anyone in the car with her that was in an emergency situation. Her father was already at the hospital.
