A video from the Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office in Indiana sparked attention after school resource officers were filmed handing out “tickets” to elementary students for saying the phrase “6-7.”

The clip, posted on Facebook , shows deputies entering classrooms and “enforcing” what they called a new law against the popular slang term.

The phrase “6-7” had recently been dubbed “Word of the Year” by local officials, which led to the sheriff’s office to create a parody ordinance banning its use. Officers “cited” children who repeated the phrase, with the sheriff’s office claiming the initiative was meant to “keep parents sane” with the popularity of the trend.
