United Press International reports
A California mother shared video of her 3-year-old daughter being "let off with a warning" by an officer who caught her driving a Barbie Jeep without a license.
Serenity Hanna posted a video to Facebook showing her 3-year-old daughter, Davy, having a run-in with a Huntington Beach Police officer.
"No license, no registration", the officer says, "What are we going to do about this?"
The little girl hits the accelerator and attempts to flee the scene, sparking an ultra slow-speed pursuit.
"I can't believe this is happening", Hanna says through laughter.
"Our 3 year old daughter had a run in with HBPD this evening while out for a drive", she wrote in the Facebook post. "Even though she tried to flee the scene, the officer let her off with a warning and a badge sticker. We failed to ask this officer's name but he made our day and gave us a story to tell our family for years to come!"

USA seems weird. Allowing/having your kid walk hom from school on a known path is child endangerment but having the child run from the police is cute. :)

I can't tell if you're serious or not, but on the assumption that you are somehow legitimately confused:
The cop was obviously trying to create a light and fun memory for everyone involved. The "traffic stop" was clearly just a playful moment between police and the people they serve.

The parenthesis regarding salt [oxforddictionaries.com] was to indicate it was a non-serious comment.

Honestly, get over yourself :)
It's a three year old. They're little escapists. Bath? Escape. Bedtime? Cry, scream, escape. Nap? See bedtime.
Drawing conclusions about society from three year olds makes as much sense as determining the motion of the planets from grains of sand at the beach.
I don't look at toddlers in foreign countries and try to infer culture and morality.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
