First of all let me say that this baby belonged in a car seat!

How would the policeman "see what she was doing."  As I was driving around
today I looked through the windows of cars and I don't think that I could
have seen if someone were feeding a baby while driving.  If she were
feeding a 3 month old baby the baby would be on Mom's lap and in her one arm.

Perhaps a semi-truck driver could look down and see it but another car
driver would have a problem, don't you think?

Maybe I did not check every angle.  Some of you could try it and see of you
can see a driver's lap and arms at breast height.

I'm wondering if the driver was driving erratically or in a distracted
manner that created a reason to examining closer, or even to pull over the
driver.

Well, I do have more pressing matters to attend to but this item caught my
attention.
