Police Officer Dresses In Drag To Catch Red Light Runners

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- There was a very unusual traffic operation underway in south Florida on Thursday. Police were going undercover to catch red light runners.

Commuters in West Palm Beach may have noticed the rather large woman sitting near one of the area's busiest intersection. But she was really a he.

The undercover officer is dressed in drag to hand out tickets to people who run red lights. He goes by the code name 'Officer Delicious.'

Over the past couple of months, Officer Delicious has been on the job at all the busy intersections all over the city in various get-ups and 'she' has been very successful in taking a swipe against crime.

"So far, although traffic is a little slower than usual due to school being out, we are still being quite effective, pulling over numerous violators running the red light today," Officer Delicious said.

Each violator is handed a $183.50 ticket for their violations. On one occasion, Officer Delicious wrote 74 tickets in just under 90 minutes.

Over the past few months, an undercover officer has posed as everything from a utility pole repairwoman to a surveyor, construction worker and even an eccentric homeless man, all to catch drivers off guard.

I will assume that officer titties calls ahead to a regular cop to hand out the citations... I don't see too many commuters pulling over for a 6 foot ugly woman running after them yelling "HEY! Stop, I'm the PoPo!"

CNN did a report on the cop dressed as the homeless guy (bathrobe, shorts, cowboy boots, sunglasses and ridiculous straw hat) and stand in the median at busy intersections. When guys run the light, he radioed down to his buddies and they pull the guys over.

They nailed something like 75 card in an hour the first weekend they were out there.

We go to extremes to catch red light runners? How hopeless are the police that they need to go under cover to catch minor traffic violatiors?

I guess it beats actually working, huh?

Well, at least they're doing SOMETHING. It sure beats hanging around the station or just driving aimlessly around town.

Besides, with the number of people they nailed, it seems as though running red lights is a major problem; at least in West Palm Beach, FL. And, they're generating a nice bit of cash flow too ($13,579 in 90 minutes.......better to use that to pay their salaries than tax dollars, right?)

Minor violation?
Apparently you've never been hit or had someone you know get hit/injured/worse by some f***ing idiot running a red light or a stop sign.

How is dedicating one under cover officer to an obviously notorious intersection "going to extremes"?

Sorry, scooter, but I have low tolerance when folks put down the police as "hopeless" and apparently "not actually working".
What incredibly demanding job is it that you do again?

I run the computer system that controls your taxes. What was your name again?

And then there was that small stint in combat doing TRAP missions. But I've never really had a "demanding" job, I guess. :wink2:
