A police officer stopped a young man's car and, upon checking it, realised that his driving licence had expired.
The police officer asked him why he was driving with an expired licence.
He answered:
They just fired me from my night job, and the money I have is only enough for me to eat, pay rent, and pay my bills. I am from another state, and I have come here to study at university. Plus, I have a job interview.
The police officer had the option of applying the law and prohibiting the young man from driving his car, but he decided to listen to his heart.
He parked his police vehicle, helped him tie his tie, got into the young man's car, and accompanied him to the interview location.
They entered together. The police officer apologized and explained the reason for the young man's delay. They hired him!
The young man got the job and obtained a temporary driving licence until he raised enough money to renew his licence.
That's humanity!
