Boston Officer Pulls Driver Over To Admire 'PEACE' License Plate
BOSTON (CBS) – A driver was stopped in Brighton this week. But he had committed no traffic infraction.
According to a post on the Boston Police Department Facebook page, an officer recently stopped a man driving a car with a license plate that said "PEACE."
"You know it's a funny thing because I had Martin Richard on my mind after reading about the unveiling of his statue at Bridgewater State University," the officer said, according to Boston Police. "Next thing I know, a car with a license plate that reads 'PEACE' pulls out in front of me. I was so impressed by the plate, I had to tell the operator."
The officer pulled up next to the car, telling the driver "listen, you're not in trouble, I just wanted to tell you that I love your license plate.
Police called the driver a "delightful man" in his early 60s.
When the officer asked the driver why he picked "PEACE" for his license plate, the man's response was a simple one.
"Why not?" the man told police.
