Emmett Township Public Safety Officer Ben Hall is being called a hero because he didn't give a 25-year-old mom a ticket after pulling her over because her daughter was in the backseat without a booster seat.

Officer Hall saw Lexi de Lorenzo driving near downtown Battle Creek with her daughter in the back seat. She had a seatbelt on but Michigan law requires a booster seat for children less than 8 years old.

Very nice, but the officer spent too much money.

In Michigan, a 5-year old can use a booster seat, which is far cheaper than a full car seat.

“It was an unforgettable experience,” DeLorenzo said. “I’ve never heard of a cop going out of his way - when he could have easily given me a ticket and made things more difficult. He, out of his own pocket and the kindness of his heart, did something to help me.”

Even cheap car seats ain't cheap. This is one of those cases where giving the woman a ticket doesn't solve the problem.

Yup. He solved a problem rather than contributing to it.

Nah... cps only goes after conservative families.
Being a “single mom”, she probably is a democrat.

Sounds like a Fox and Friends type story, that’s why I don’t watch that show.

Post upon post, thread after thread it seems over the years that the quality of the average FReeper is plummeting.
