By driving around with her 5-year-old daughter, not only was she risking a ticket, but she was putting her child’s life at risk.
When Officer Ben Hall of Emmett Township, Michigan pulled her over, he could have enforced the state law which requires all children under 8 to be in a booster seat. Instead, he took her to a local Walmart and bought her a booster chair.
As Hall said, “It was the easiest 50 bucks I ever spent.”
Since the story received national headlines, the Emmett Township Facebook wall has been filled with hundreds of “thank you” notes, such as these:
1-officer
With so many negative stories about police officers, it is important to remember that thousands of them do their job well and are willing to go above-and-beyond the call of duty to help people.
Please share this story to remind others just how much of a huge difference a small act of compassion can make.
