Shitty, I vaguely remember a story that broke a few months ago abuot a football player in TX being detained and ticketed in the hospital parking lot for speeding. His wife's Mom was dying, and he and his wife were rushing to be by her bedside. The cop was extra-belligerent and wouldn't let he OR his wife get out of the car. Finally he let the guy's wife go in (she barely made it), but kept the driver until the ticketing process was over. Mother-in-Law was dead by the time that he got to the room. Jacked up story. Putting my skewed tangent aside, I'd say that if (and I mean IF) a ticket MUST be issued in that situation, it would prob. be best to do it there rather than the scene (and I'm not sure of the statute of limitations regarding ticketing post-accident). I don't agree with it, but I can see it happening. Especially if the victim is in the ER waiting room, and not being wheeled into surgery or something.
