Yes, it’s ridiculous.
But if he was in contact with his station and his superiors told him to give the ticket, he has a point in terms of his being fired.
Even ASKING about giving this toddler a ticket should disqualify this jerk officer from being employed anywhere that needs a working brain to work there.
“Yes, its ridiculous.

You do realize that the fact he even bothered to ask says a lot about who he is. The only question is, should they also go after the guy who said it was OK? If this guy has no more discretion than that, he does not belong as a cop.
As for “permission on high”, I hope he has a lot more than that statement to back it up.
A cop at another site said it best. “Thank you officer dumbass for improving public relations.”
Whoever gave him permission should also be fired. Who’s gonna ‘fess up?
