The Dunellen Police Department used a stupid swampish costume to covertly conduct a distracted-driving enforcement operation in the Middlesex County town. The six-hour operation - meant to enforce the state’s handheld cellphone law and promote safety - resulted in 74 citations to drivers distracted by their devices.
“Our ‘shrub’ was busy. We issued 74 citations to drivers distracted by their devices in a six-hour window,” the department wrote in a statement.
The law prohibits drivers from using a handheld cellphone or device - resulting in fines of $200 to $400 for a first offense.
To my used-to-be-a-cop mindset, there is something seriously wrong about doing shit like this. This is about a money grab, with almost nothing to do with public safety as I see it.
Granted, we all know driving and talking on the phone is stupid - texting even worse, but still. I guess there's so little crime in that town that they have to go out and create some. Kinda fucked up if ya ask me. I wonder what percentage of those busted were women. Kalshi?
