Cops Take In $30K in One Day Dressed as Donald Duck Fort Lee, New Jersey Residents of a New Jersey town are disputing a recent trap that police set up for drivers this past Halloween. Last week, an undercover officer was dressed in a giant Donald Duck costume and paced back and forth on the sidewalk and street on a busy road. Officers would then pull over drivers who failed to yield for the duck, and hit them with $230 traffic tickets. Police issued a whopping 130 tickets that day for a total take of $29,900.00. Karen Haigh of River Edge is one of the drivers caught up in this trap, and she told ABC7 that she intends to fight the ticket. Haigh is one of dozens of motorists who received tickets this Halloween in the Donald Duck sting operation, meaning that the police department raked in tens of thousands of dollars in this one operation. Police Chief Keith Bendul defended the operation, saying that it was intended to prevent drivers from hitting pedestrians. However, video footage of the operation shows that the officer dressed in the duck suit was intentionally confusing motorists, walking back and forth between the street and the sidewalk, and making confusing hand gestures.

Poster Comment: I guess these two comments were the best ones I saw about this so far: Run his porker pig ass over, chain him to the back of a truck and drag his theiving ass to the nearest barbeque joint.

I wonder if Disney gets royalties from the fines.
Someone should call them and tell them that those cops are making people mad at Donald Duck.
