Gas Can Replaces Child in Safety Seat

Whilst conducting click it or ticket stops last week in Aurora, Colorado police found something unexpected.

Police found that a gas can had been strapped in a child safety seat, and a child in a regular seat belt, next to it.

The officer took a picture of the sight, and it was posted on the Colorado Department of Transportation's Facebook.

Per Colorado law, any child under the age of eight is required to be in a safety seat whilst traveling in a motor vehicle.

An $82 fine is attached to a violation. In this case the driver was cited with three violations.

Police said the driver told officers the child lets himself out of the car seat. The officer then asked if the child put the gas can in the car seat and buckled it up, then buckled himself into a seat belt on the other side of the car.
