One 12-year-old Las Vegas boy has become a viral video hero after reminding a thirsty police officer he's not above the law.
The young man, who identifies himself as Jeremy in the video, springs into action when he sees a motorcycle cop park illegally on the sidewalk.
The officer was apparently going to buy a soft drink.

'Is there a reason for you to park on the sidewalk?' Jeremy asks. 'Is it like an emergency or anything?'
When the cop refuses to answer, Jeremy goes one step further.
'Can I see your badge number?' he asks.
'Why?' the officer responds.
'Because I have the right to.'
'Are you a lawyer?' The officer asks.
'No I just want to see your badge number.'
The officer refuses to give over his badge number but asks Jeremy to give him an ID.
Jeremy keeps pressing the officer for his badge number, but finally the man rides off leaving Jeremy to wonder what the emergency was.
The video, uploaded to YouTube under the user name Jeremy Drew, has already been viewed more than 2.2 million times.

It's sparked fierce debate between viewers who think Jeremy did the right thing those who think he was being a pest.
'This cop puts his life on the line every day to protect and serve us. Grow up kid,' writes one viewer on YouTube.
While another writes: 'The kid was doing the right thing. I'm always amazed at suckups who think holding police to the same standard as everyone else is some sort of sin.'
