John Davis of Dracut says his wife Jennifer's contractions were three minutes apart on November 18, 2008 when a state trooper pulled them over for using the breakdown lane.
The couple says the trooper made them wait five to 10 minutes while he wrote a ticket for another car on Route 2, asked to see Jennifer's belly to prove her pregnancy, then issued them a ticket.
The couple then made it to Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge.
Their daughter was born five hours later.
State police say no discipline is likely for the trooper.

No discipline?! How about a swift kick in the pants! Around here a Trooper would have escorted the couple to the hospital and expressed his wishes that they have a healthy child as he made sure they were inside the hospital and had the attention of the doctors and nurses there before going back to his job of patrolling our highways for miscreants and other ne'r-do-wells out for mischief and misdemeanors.
