Cops in BC come up with new way to slow people down
... placing cardboard cutouts of cops holding radar guns beside the road
And so the game continues ...
Staff Sgt. Ralph Pauw said even if drivers realize it's just a cutout cop, they won't know for sure if there's a real officer concealed behind it, the Vancouver Sun reported Friday.
Pauw said at a news conference that in brief field tests earlier this week "a tow-truck driver pulled up and started talking to it," the report said.

Similar tactics have been used in Texas, where fake police cars are placed in speeding zones, and several years ago state conservation officials in West Virginia used a robotic deer to track poachers.
