A B.C. RCMP detachment is testing out a brand new member on the force and as part of its latest measure to curb notorious speeders.

Const. Scarecrow is a life-sized, metal poster-board cutout of a police officer with a laser speed-reader, and will be stationed among bushes in the median of Pinetree Way in Coquitlam for the next two months.

While he won香蕉视频直播檛 hand out a ticket or collect a paycheque, it香蕉视频直播檚 hoped that he will give motorists the reminder they need to slow down.

香蕉视频直播淐onst. Scarecrow doesn香蕉视频直播檛 write tickets of course, but drivers should be aware that real Mounties, and our Speed Watch volunteers, might be right around the corner waiting to help out,香蕉视频直播� Sgt. Quentin Frewing said Tuesday. 香蕉视频直播淭he real goal here is to keep speeds down and keep our roads safe.香蕉视频直播�

Scarecrow will be located in two other mysterious locations in the city 香蕉视频直播� areas problematic for speeders, police said. To measure the impact the cut-outs have, RCMP will be using its speed-monitoring system called Black Cat to track speeds nearby 24-7.

At the unveiling, Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said if the project is successful, similar Mountie cut-outs could be expanded to cities across B.C. if detachments see fit. Each cutout costs roughly $500.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e seen cutouts used before in places like the United Kingdom, but never to our knowledge has this happened in Canada,香蕉视频直播� he said.

香蕉视频直播淭his is a light-hearted approach to traffic enforcement, you might not get a ticket 香蕉视频直播� hopefully you just slow down 香蕉视频直播� but it is a warning that Const. Scarecrow香蕉视频直播檚 big brothers and sisters香蕉视频直播� are right around the corner.香蕉视频直播�
