Speeders Beware of "Deputy Leprechaun"

By Alex in Crime & Law, Pictures on Mar 16, 2007 at 1:44 pm


Speeders, watch out for "Deputy Leprechaun" in Orange County, Florida:

An Orange County sheriff’s deputy dressed as a leprechaun and equipped with a laser speed-detection gun targeted speeding and reckless motorists in the area of University Boulevard and state Road 417.

The "leprechaun" also held a sign reading, "Watch your speed or it will cost you your pot of gold."

Motorcycle units stopped violators and issued the traffic citations after being informed by the "leprechaun" via radio. Officials said they issued about a ticket per minute.

    Interesting. That's what police officers are in reality. Tax collectors. That is why they always lower points from traffic violations on your driver's license: they don't want bad drivers to STOP DRIVING by loosing their license. They want bad drivers to KEEP PAYING the fines.
