He said it had nothing to do with her breastfeeding. It was super loud. She was in the pit. He made what I thought were good points. I don't think it's a safe place for an infant either.

... without hearing protection?

As I sit here typing with a ringing in my ears.

Often places far more dangerous than a Brad Paisley concert in San Diego.

i'm familiar with this website. it's a libertarian site that goes just beyond police abuses.

A lot of states have laws making it illegal to harass a nursing mother, even if part of the breast or nipple or aureola is showing.

But if the noise level is really loud, then yes, the baby shouldn't be there.

It was about the danger to the baby in the pit- both noise and crowd. he was courteous and professional and kind. he did not threaten her in any way. He gave her the option to move to another part of the venue.

if she had that baby near the speakers. It is one thing to be old enough to make the decision to go to a concert and even sit near the speakers. The baby didn't have a choice to be there. It seems like Mom made a poor decision I am really surprised that something was said to her a lot earlier in the evening.

who was so much smarter than him. I don't believe he called the District Attorney. That sounds like BS.
I would like to add that I would never bring an infant to a concert.

she was. it's stupid to stand in the pit of a very loud concert with a lot of people, with an infant in a a carrier on your chest.

Concerts are loud. I'm in my forties and that shit still hurts my ears sometimes, especially in the pit area.

Dumbass.

It didn't occur to her that it was not good for the baby, but rather than admit she learned something, she acted like she was this big victim. If there was a crush and the kid was hurt, she'd have sued saying they shouldn't have let her into the pit.

I have been to many concerts.

Upwards of 100.

I have never seen a child young enough to still be nursing at any of them.

Not sure on the legality of it, but it does not seem right to me.

Get a sitter...

seemed really obnoxious. It wasn't just the noise level but the location and concern about the safety of the baby if he crowd surged forward.

She claims to have been breastafeeding earlier, but has not proof and even if it happened, it was a separate incident and didn't involve this cop. He never said anything about breast feeding. Her bringing it up was totally irrelevent.

I've been in a concert pit and nearly been crushed. Admittedly a Doors concert, but that does happen even at crappy concerts.

He offered her choices of safer seating or a refund, and he was polite.

She was rude and argumentative. He never said anything about breast feeding. Her bringing it up was totally irrelevent.

She needs proof that excess volume at concerts can damage hearing? Seriously a jerk.

LEO's actions were over-reach, and they may still be, but there is a legitimate concern about crowd rushes.

Back in the days of Austin's punk scene, several punks brought their kids to the small-med. venues, but they were at least 6 or 7. In the middle of all the flying bodies, empty beer cans, and human collapse, you'd get tapped on the lower back: That meant a kid wanted up on your shoulders where they could get into cat fights with other kids as the lower elevation adults slammed into each other. Great fun for all!
