But Officer!

A patrolling police officer in Malden, Mass., spotted an “arrest me red” Mercedes convertible driving down the sidewalk, and he made a traffic stop. The driver was wearing a t-shirt that read, “I Have Literally No Idea What You Are Saying.” The shirt was totally correct, but not because the driver was drunk: rather, Grason Salerno is just 1 year old; his car is a toy, and he was being closely supervised by his mommy, who snapped a photo. The unnamed officer wrote a pretend ticket for excessive cuteness, and went on his way. (RC/WCVB Boston, AP) ...The only infraction that can lead to a lifetime sentence.
