A Florida police officer (not pictured above) pulled over a great-grandma for broken brake lights, but instead of giving her a ticket, gave her a gift card to get them fixed.
Orlando PD shared body cam video of
Sgt. Wayne Costa doing an awesomely good deed!
(Watch the video below)
OPD Motors Unit Sgt. Costa stopped a vehicle with a few brake lights out. The driver was a great-grandmother doing her best for her family. He gave her an Advance Auto Parts gift card so she can fix her car problems, keeping her and her grandchildren safe.

A police officer gave a great grandmother he had pulled over for a broken brake light a gift card to get it fixed rather than issue her with a fine.

Sergeant Wayne Costa, an officer with Orlando Police Department, was out on patrol when he saw the woman driving along with the faulty light.
After pulling her over, he told her he knew everyone was finding it tough at the moment and he didn t want to give her a fine.

So instead he handed her a $25 (£17) gift voucher for Advance Auto Parts so she could go and get her car sorted without having to worry about the additional cost of a penalty notice.

Sgt.
Wayne Costa, a patrol officer with Orlando PD, stopped a woman who was driving with her brake lights out.
It s apparent Sgt. Costa felt the great grandmother was struggling financially, so giving her a ticket where she d have to pay a fine would create additional hardship and make it even harder to fix her brake lights.
