For most parents, watching their child get pulled over is a nightmare. But when Ashley Crawford saw the flashing lights of a police car behind her son’s vehicle, she happily whipped out her camera.
Jaxon Arbuckle, Crawford’s son, is a 2-year-old who loves his toy car. So when Crawford saw that a local Louisville, Ky., police officer was tending to a small car wreck on her street on Tuesday, she had an idea. “I thought, ‘How cute would it be if I got a picture of Jaxon pulled over?’” she tells Yahoo Parenting. “I waited for him to finish up with his incident report and asked him if he wouldn’t mind turning the lights on and pulling Jaxon over.”
The police officer, Bill Mayo, was happy to play along. “I saw this little boy who looked to be not much older than my son, and he was running up and down the street like my son does and he just made me smile,” Mayo tells Yahoo Parenting. “He had this Little Tikes car, and his mom asked if she could snap some pictures. I would never say no to a boy like that. He kept looking up at me like I was some kind of Transformer. He kept smiling.”

This is bazaaro.
Looks to me like the little tyke enjoyed his “traffic stop.” The article mentioned he was afraid of sirens. This little stunt probably allayed his fears and taught him that the police are human, not monsters.
Mom sees a police officer working and immediately wonders how she can use him as a prop for her Facebook page titled Isn’t my Snowflake Adorable?!
Mayberry cops JBT ping?
My God, people, lighten up!
What state or town/city ?
I had to walk home through a sleepy Massachusetts town a little drunk (maybe 16 yrs old ... another time for THAT story) and a cop walking a beat (Yep ... I'm that old) pulled me aside and talked to me and walked me the remaining block or two to my house ... I THINK (but am not sure) he said "it was a good thing your father didn't catch you"
I can’t believe some of the comments here. Cops are human beings, and, like the rest of us, some of them are good, decent people, a few are thugs, and the rest fall somewhere on the spectrum in-between.
You can’t judge all cops on the actions of one or two. And it looked like they were having fun with this little boy.
Did you read the same article I did?
This was really cute and the officer seems like a nice guy. And the mother asked him to do it and the kid liked it.
Having said that, I think she went too far when she had the officer cuff and pepper-spray the kid so she could get a picture of baby’s first arrest.
Y’all need to settle down a little bit. The old idea of the neighborhood cop was to do just what the officer did. Positive interaction with the community.
Besides that, who among you wouldn’t take the opportunity to have your daughter pulled over the first day she had her learners permit.
Naaa, I wouldn’t to that!!
Agree with ya...the cop haters looming now days on good ol FR is nothing short of amazing.
So true. Most disconcerting.
The left has been working for decades to turn American citizens against the police.
Let’s see...
Driving without a license
Driving without insurance
Driving without registration
Driving without working headlights or tail lights
Well, at least they can’t get him for speeding.
