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.”

The mom obviously doesn’t read “cop articles” here at FR. If she did, she wouldn’t have asked the officer to play that little game...
another example of white privilege. Had the child been black, he would have had his neck broken or something.
What? I’m sorry. I’ve been watching too much MSNBC.
Never mind.

When I was around 4 or so, my mother was friends with a local police lieutenant. We would regularly go to the city jail, and I’d play checkers with the guys in jail. Even got a few pictures somewhere of me ‘behind bars’.
So what? I don’t hate cops - just arrogant idiots who think the law doesn’t apply to them (cop, or no cop).
