Okay, she was speeding, and she got a ticket for that. She didn't contest that. But to be told that her VALID Canadian license was not good enough and all of the other copies of documentation she provided were rejected ? Plus she was handcuffed AND her car impounded ?

Disrespecting her Canadian license was bad enough, but the rest of it was sheer over-kill, power-tripping by the officer.

What's wrong with you ??
