The face of law enforcement ?

Found this while driving through a small town Saturday.

LOL, that's pretty funny. However, experience has taught me that they're normally a "pre-trap" set-up. Cops working in teams will intentially set-up a dummy decoy just as pictured to initially scare you to slow down. You then see it's a fake; laugh, and then you hammer-down even faster thinking the coast is clear. That is the normal human reaction (and the cops know it).

As you go by the dummy decoy and quickly speed up you also unknowingly enter a reduced speed zone ahead (school zone, bike route, construction zone, etc). Hidden off the side of the road ahead are other cruisers or quite often stealthy motorcycle cops armed with portable radar & laser devices ready to spring on you with a big fat ticket. Small rural country towns are famous for this tactic and depend upon you for their revenue.

Thus, if you ever see one of these dummy decoy cop car set-ups-- slow way down and keep your speed very slow for the next couple of miles because the real deal is just up the road ready to strike!!! You've been warned.

How many times have they caught you? Seems to me they would have better results hiding and nailing you because even a dummy shows they are watching that stretch of road.

They've done that tactic here a few times. I'm not much of a speeder so i've never been caught but i have seen manequin cops in cruisers before. Usually they look a little more real life though than ernie. Still pretty dang funny.

Now that's a serious speed trap.
