At least they used a cruiser with tinted windows to try and conceal their shenanigans. That CA one is hilarious.

I was in my work vehicle and driving normal but after seeing him there in the same spot 3 days in a row I figured I would check it out closer
and see if the officer had died in his car from the FL heat and was rotting.

Nah, I knew it was a dummy because I slowed down to almost a stop beside it and looked in. I wanted a picture because that is never done here.

Mannequin gets people used to seeing the car there, people assume that's all it is, then a real cop appears and tickets you. It could happen, right?

Some car reviewer:

By our measures, the automatic version weighs 57 pounds more than the manual 86 we tested, and, at 7.7 seconds, it needed 1.5 seconds more to get from zero to 60 mph.

Bored now....
