A California driver was pulled over on a Bay Area highway after being spotted using a carpool lane while their only passenger was a mannequin dressed in a hat and sunglasses.

CHP Marin posted a photo to its Facebook story showing the mannequin in the backseat of a car while dressed in a straw hat, sunglasses, facial hair, overalls and a shirt that gave the illusion of sleeve and torso tattoos.

"That moment you get pulled over for a carpool violation and your passenger in the back chooses to remain silent," the post said.

CHP spokesman Officer Darrel Horner said Officer Susan Withers of the Marin Division was on Highway 101, near Ignacio Boulevard, when she spotted the unusual passenger.

"Something didn't look right," Horner told the Los Angeles Times. "She made the stop, and lo and behold, the passenger in back wasn't moving or saying anything."

The carpool violation carries a $490 fine, CHP said.

Thoughts? Would you do this?

I think that used to be quite popular in Seattle; have not heard anything about it lately. I guess the police have either got a grip on it now, or, there are a lot of worse things for them to have to deal with.
I think that slapping a few of those heavy fines on the 'pranksters' probably works well.
