Montreal cop invents new law on the spot to ticket carpooling mom

Having done enough traffic school during my lifetime to nearly have tenure - cops are wrong about basic traffic laws surprisingly often. Don’t fight about it - be polite, sign your ticket, and do the research, and do go to court if they were mistaken. If the cop doesn’t show (which is often) - they’ll dismiss it. If they do show and are wrong - they’ll dismiss it. This is the US, and I am an older white male - YMMV.
