Volusia County, Florida – a street race came to an embarrassing end when the drivers realized too late that a deputy was watching, but that is not the most shocking part of the incident, say the Florida investigators.

One of the drivers proved to be 12 years old, the office of the Sheriff of the Volusia County reported in a Facebook post dated May 1.

The other driver was 17, said the sheriff's office.

Her illegal competition was discovered on Tuesday, April 29, at 6.45 p.m. when a representative saw two cars “side by side” and came directly on a two -lane road in Deland, officers said.

Both vehicles were stopped and the deputy was in the middle of the handcuff when he learned that the suspect had no driver's license because he was 12 years old.

Two other young people, both 16, were found in the same car, officials said.

The Body Camera video published on Facebook shows that the MP paused to explain the situation to the annoyed mother of the 12-year-old that suggested that the boy had to be beaten.

“I can't beat her,” you hear the deputy. “This is your child. Physical punishment is completely legal.”

The boy who lives in Deland drove a car that belonged to the mother of one of his passengers, the police said.

The 12-year-old boy was accused of having no driver's license and driving on a street, and turned to a parent, said officials.

The 17-year-old, also from Deland, was charged on a highway for races, said officials. He drove his mother's car, said officials.

When he was asked, he admitted that his competitor attended a local middle school, the video shows.

“And you decide that it is a good idea to drive a middle school student who drives a car? He is 12 years old,” noted the deputy. “Well, they are arrested today.”

As for passengers, both boys were charged on a highway and knowingly driven as a passenger, said officials.

Details about how quickly the drivers went were not published. The street takes place via Daytona Park Estates, a shared apartment in which the speed limit of 30 km / h is.

Deland is about 40 miles to the northeast of Orlando.
