Be deliberate the next time you ’re at a brake light and desire to get a quick peek at your sound . That friendly expression worker beside your railcar might actually be a copper playing clothes - up .
Yes , police in Marietta , Georgia have recently start out handing out$150 ticketsfor “ distrait driving ” by posing as route workers . Despite the fact that these people do what nearly everybody does while they ’re waitress at a foresightful traffic luminance .
“ It does n’t weigh if you ’re stopped at a light , ” law officer Nick Serkedakistold WSB - TVwith a unbowed face . “ If you ’re on a public thoroughfare or a public road and you ’re facing the phone you ’re going to get our attending and we ’re go to have a conversation with you . ”
And that conversation will be you about 150 bucks . So if there really is a levelheaded dialogue started , it should in all probability be about how police departments can arouse money without actively deceiving people .
“ I really do think this is go to be the DUI of the future , ” Serkedakis say , again with a true face , and failing to mention that these people were in idle car at traffic light .
Nobody is advocating that drivers start a tweetstorm while they ’re hurry down the freeway . Distracted machine driver kill thousands of people every year . But the fact that most of the drivers ticketed in Georgia were in stop vehicles , coupled with the fact that the cop were disguising their appearance , makes it easy to see why driver palpate cod .
There ’s really got to be a good way to try out your Village People cosplay .
