YOU be the judge!
This actually took place in Australia and was caught on tape.

This is one of the big news items on the news over there. The woman in the burqa [tudung and veil] 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.

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.

They are now saying she shouldn't go to jail as she has 7 children.

Here is the video:

If the future is the justice system working as it is intended, I welcome it.

No doubt this is what you are referring to.

There we go again, the confusion between race and religion. This is what has lead to the sorry state the UK and other countries are in today . The Burqa is a symbol of religion not of race, so the decision to ban it cannot be called racial. The ban presumably applies to anyone wearing it regardless of race, so at worse it can only be described as religious discrimination, although many Muslims try to play the race card, and before I am accused of racism, as do many other religious groups. The one that comes to mind is the wearing of turbans by Sikhs when driving motorbikes . It was a rule brought in for personal safety, nothing to do with religion or race, but was appealed against on both grounds .
