Photo of toddler in toy convertible getting ticket from cops goes viral

You know that sinking feeling that comes when you see police lights flashing in the rearview mirror? One Jacksonville, Fla., driver experienced that at a very young age this week.

Two-year-old Za'Dariyah Mishaw was driving her toy convertible car through the parking lot of her condominium complex when she got pulled over by the police. The cops, it seems, were already on the scene investigating a crime in the complex and thought the stunt would be a fun way to relieve the pressure of a tense situation.


By all accounts, Za'Dariya is as cool as the sleek, white car she was driving and immediately cooperated. She "took the ticket, and at first she was very confused,” mom Zumekia Mishaw told TODAY.com, adding that her daughter "is very smart and knows how to act." And when the officer told her to take the ticket and pose for a photo, Za'Dariyah pouted spontaneously. The police had asked Mishaw in advance if they could do the stunt.
