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!"

    Cute stuff from FB on SN?
    How dare you challenge my ultra-cynicism and dare me to point out that 4-year-old Abdelkader Muhammad, doing the same in a black pickup truck would have been droned, shot in the back, tazed, and taken to Gitmo?
    I'm not falling for it! You will not get me!

    Well, it's a good thing the toddler was white. Or we'd undoubtedly have had another child-execution by the Police to deal with.

    A US cop doing his duty without beating or killing someone is newsworthy I would say...

    That's actually the kind of discussion that I thought might come about when I posted it up.. On the one hand, its nice to occasionally see cops not being a$$holes. On the other hand, would the cop have reacted the same if it had been an ethnic child? Would we have perceived the entire incident the same way? I did wait until "after hours" in the US to post it anyway.. :D
