A Michigan officer who pulled over a vehicle because a 5-year-old girl wasn’t secured in a booster seat decided a ticket wouldn’t cut it.

美國密西根州一名以車內有未坐在安全座椅上的5歲女童為由、要求駕駛人路邊停車的警員,認為開罰單無法解決問題。

Instead, Emmett Township public safety officer Ben Hall bought her a seat.

艾默特鎮公安警察班‧霍爾不但沒有開罰單,反而幫女童買了一個安全座椅。

"A ticket doesn’t solve the situation," Hall told WXMI-TV. "What solves it is the child being in the booster seat like she should be. It was the easiest 50 bucks I ever spent."

「一張罰單無法解決這個狀況,」霍爾告訴WXMI電視台。「真正能解決問題的是讓這孩子坐在她應該坐的兒童安全座椅上。這是我花過最爽快的50元。」

Hall was on patrol in the southern Michigan community when he pulled over the vehicle after someone reported that it had an unsecured young child inside. Alexis DeLorenzo and her daughter were riding with a friend, and Hall said DeLorenzo told him that she had fallen on hard times and couldn’t afford a booster seat.

霍爾是在這個密西根州南部社區巡邏時,接獲某人通報說這輛車內有一名未坐在安全座椅上的兒童後,要求該車靠邊停車。車內是與一名友人共乘的艾莉希絲‧迪羅倫佐和她的女兒。霍爾說,迪羅倫佐告訴他,她手頭拮据,買不起兒童安全座椅。

"I was in a spot where I could help her," Hall said.

「我剛好可以幫助她,」霍爾說。

DeLorenzo said she knew that they could have been ticketed, but instead, Hall told her to meet him at a Wal-Mart, where he bought her the seat. (AP)

迪羅倫佐說,她知道她們可能會被開罰單,但霍爾不但沒開罰單,反而叫她跟他在一家威名百貨超市碰頭,霍爾在那裡買了一張安全座椅送給她。
