A police officer in Dunellen, New Jersey, dressed up as a bush and stood on the side of a busy road to catch drivers who were using their phones. The unusual disguise seems to be a part of an effort to enforce the state’s law against handheld cell phone use while driving.
The operation took place in the 100 block of North Washington Avenue, a busy downtown area with heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Officers said they spent six hours in the area and issued 74 citations to drivers accused of being distracted by their phones.
