Seems persons/events like these are a perfect set-up for those who want ban the burq a altogether for racist reasons. I dont like or approve of the burqa at all but if someone wants to were it on their own free choice without pressure from elders, religious figures they should be allowed to.

The Burqa debate,
Kindly have a look below at the TV clip which shows how the burqa serves the interests of the lawless and liars.
Best regards,

This is one of the big news items on tonight's news over here. The woman In the burqa was pulled over by the police because she was a "P" plate (provisional) driver and the plates weren't displayed correctly. He asked her for her license and asked her to remove her burqa so that he knew it Was her license. She then accuses him of being racist and that the only reason he pulled her over was because she was wearing a burqa. She then tells him he will be sorry and that she would take him to court. Then she contacted the media and says that he was very racist and touched her burqa and she was intimidated by him. However luckily for the policeman The police car's video camera was operating and it was all caught on film. She has now been charged and supposedly is going to be jailed for 6 months And the judge said she was the racist one. Now her solicitor is saying it wasn't her who made the complaint but someone else in a burqa and they
Are now saying she shouldn't go to jail as she has 7 children.
