Drivers in Laredo, Texas got quite a shock when they were pulled over by traffic officers. Not knowing what to expect, they stood nervously and waited for instructions. Luckily for them, the officers did not have bad news - instead they had gifts!
As a gesture of goodwill organised by Operation Peacemaker, this was an opportunity for the officers to give back to their community during the Thanksgiving period.
The drivers were overcome with relief, joy, and gratitude as they realised they were receiving a gift, and not a fine.
