3/6/2003: Fake cop car in Ukraine

Undertoad · 03-06-2003, 01:36 PM

This news image was taken in the Ukraine, where they are trying to figure out how to stop speeders, and have come up with this idea of putting up fake cop cars.

They're trying this because they're so short on funding. (But if the real cars have rims like that, they can't be TOO short on funding.)

The BBC story (link below) says that the plan might not work because the fake car idea might be scuttled by scrap metal theives. The fake car is made from a sheet of metal, which makes it such a valuable target that the fakes might have to be policed by real cops. Thus defeating the purpose.

How IRONic!
