Beerball Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Kid shoulda been tossed in jail! No signature my ass!
DrDawkinstein Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 And instead of using it to teach the kid to wear his seatbelt (while getting it secretly dropped), the parents will probably sue the town for "harrassing their special, precious baby" and the kid will learn nothing except that he's above the law.

But hey, he's a law abiding citizen.
The Senator Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Actually, the cop should be ticketed for gross stupidity. (As dib says, "Stupid should hurt.")
Cugalabanza Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 So so stupid. The kid was wearing his seatbelt. He just leaned over to feel the wind on his face for a second. The cop had several options... Do nothing at all. Pull 'em over to give the kid a warning and a valuable lesson in safety. but Give a ticket to a 10 year old.

True, I definitely dont think the cop was correct in what he did. But whatever. Something is fishy, wonder what happened during the stop to make the cop do that? Or maybe he's just an idiot (likely). Still very weird. Edited June 8, 2011 by DrDareustein

Did he just lean over or did he climb up a bit and actually stick his whole head out the window. If he climbed up and the cop saw it, I don't see too much of a problem with stopping them. His screw up was not giving the ticket to the driver though.

Could be they have a "zero tolerance" policy in enforcing their "click it or ticket" campaign, and the cops was allowed to exercise exactly no judgement of his own. Don't know that's the case...but it's certainly a possibility. God knows I've seen it enough in other contexts.
