BERLIN (AP) — A German court has ruled breast implants are no impediment to a woman becoming a police officer.
The ruling by the administrative court in the western city of Gelsenkirchen Wednesday came after a 32-year-old woman appealed a police doctor's assessment that her silicone implants were likely to rupture during physically demanding law-enforcement work.
But the court heard expert testimony there was less than a 20 percent risk of an implant ripping or other painful problems, the dpa news agency reported.
A Berlin court in 2014, for example, rejected the argument that protective gear would put enough pressure on a recruit's chest to cause health problems.
