Police taking advice from Super Troopers

Looks like Flagstaff PD has decided to do some fishing and let the fake mustache man do their job of patrolling... haha. Now obviously the reason that crime stays down is because the police have a presence in the area.. but does this really count? Thoughts?

 

That's awesome! I guess that has a bigger impact than a radar trailer or neighborhood watch signs. If people see a marked unit, they tend to slow down, come to complete stops, etc. I would guess that "dummy" was used more for traffic control than anything else. What a huge target for vandalism tho!!!

 

That was actually put out there by your local police department?? Looks like a road hazard to me and your wasted tax monies

 

Yeah definitely a target for vandalism... I already wanted to steal the man to put in my apartment haha.


And yes RadTaco, I guess they are popping up all over flagstaff and have been spotted by several people as fakes..

 

Do it!

 

Don't know if they still do, but when I lived down in Key West the cops did that a lot.

 

The only thing I fear is if they would call it 'kidnapping' haha.. Am I technically "stealing" someone being employed to sit there by the city?? Thats a joke, because he isnt real.. or is he?

 

Oh if you got caught you'd be in a lot of trouble that's for damn sure.

But if you didn't get caught you'd be the only guy rocking a legit police dummy in his house.

Totally worth the risk!

 

pa used to set the dummy up in road construction. someone did steal the state police uniform off the dummy.

 

I can hear it now. State wide man hunt for missing persons.
Description: Caucasian Male, mustache, brown hair, brown eyes.
Sort of rubbery looking, shinier than usual, eyes will be glazed.
Does not react to anything. Any information call XXX haha.

 

Really?? Unfortunately, wearing it is only going to get him in more trouble for impersonating an officer. Did they ever find who did it?

 

It's actually saving tax dollars

 

This x100

what a bunch of idiots..

Blocking a corner intersection, past the line, and on the sidewalk.. do as we say not as we do.

You should pull a citizens arrest on the dummy because I think he's drunk.

 

HAHAHA Break the window and pull him out of it, call 911 and say I have made a citizens arrest on a illegally parked car. Ill play out the whole thing as if I am terrified for my life that he was watching my house and when questioned he wouldnt respond. I may be able to get away with it.

 

The Punta Gorda, FL police department does that all the time, but they don't even bother to put a blow-up doll in, they just park it but I still shit my pant and double checked the speedo...

 

never heard

 

They have been doing that for years around Birmingham.

 

Fairfax County PD around here have been placing un-occupied cruisers on the side of the road or medians in high traffic areas. They leave them there for a week or two at a time, and yet the people who drive the road everyday still slam on their brakes whenever they see them.

I guess the tactic works since the majority of drivers are actually retarded.

This is true. I try not to speed in the first place. I dont have a budget for tickets. I feel like if the flow of traffic in high traffic areas is above the speed limit, it is more dangerous to put a cop car there. I feel like there are more people getting rear ended. Of course that leads to the conclusion they should be paying attention in the first place.

 

Back in Georgia they used to cut the middle out of the cop cars and weld the two sides back together and then place them near roadways. They were super skinny haha and easier to move I guess.
