Red meant stop, yellow meant go slow, green meant go. And Officer Robbie Richardson wasn’t going to make light of the rules.
His father had just driven past a red light, when he was meant to hault, so like any guardian of law, this six-year-old called 911 as soon as he got back home.
Little Robbie who wants to be a cop when he grows up has learnt traffic rules in his kindergarten and knows the important of the number 9-1-1 as it’s written on the side of his toy car.

The Quincy Police department put up an audio clip of Robbie’s complaint on its Facebook page on Wednesday.
