First of all, I don't believe for a second that it is legal to breastfeed a child in a moving vehicle in Michigan. <b>If</b>, however, I am wrong (it <b>has</b> happened a time or two) and it is legal...then that's Michigan. She was pulled over in Ohio. Ohio laws most certainly apply when in Ohio, interstate highway or not. To illustrate, states have various speed limits these days. Do you really think for one moment that the cop pulling you over in Pennsylvania gives a rats ass that the speed limit on Nebraska highways is 75. Fuck no! It's 55 in Pennsylvania, here's your ticket moron.
Although, I <b>do</b> believe that she may well have been within her rights to proceed to the nearest tollboth to pull over. There have been instances where the cop in the mirror wasn't a cop at all, but some putz with a Federal System (lights and siren), and people have been raped and killed. The cops tend to understand what you're doing as long as you proceed directly to the nearest public place and don't lead them on a high speed pursuit down the highway. The tollbooth fit that bill.
