Judge: Don't Count Fetus for Carpool QuotaAnd here I thought all that weight I gained over the holidays would come in handy. Back to square one.

Unborn children don't count when it comes to carpool lanes, according to a judge's ruling.

"To follow her philosophy would require officers to carry guns, radios and pregnancy testers, and I don't think we want to go there," said Sgt. Dave Norton, the Phoenix police officer who cited Dickinson on Nov. 8.
