新泽西州邓内伦(Dunellen)警方采取了一种非同寻常的方式来打击分心驾驶,即派遣身穿全套伪装服的警员执行任务。这些警员伪装成路边的灌木丛,利用望远镜观察是否有驾驶员在使用手持设备,并将违规信息通过无线电传达给附近的巡逻单位。 这项为期六小时的行动共开出了 74 张罚单,凸显了在行人众多的市中心区域,开车使用手机的现象十分普遍。尽管有些人认为这种“灌木丛卧底”策略过于极端,但邓内伦警察局表示,此举是必要的安全措施,并提醒驾驶员,分心驾驶带来的风险远比任何短信或通知更为重要。根据新泽西州法律,初犯者因开车时使用手持手机将面临 200 至 400 美元的罚款。这一举措直截了当地提醒广大驾驶员:总有人——或者某种东西——在注视着道路。

If you thought speed traps were getting creative, New Jersey police have officially entered the landscaping business.

Officers in Dunellen spent part of the week hiding in full ghillie suits, essentially dressing up as oversized shrubs, to catch drivers using their phones behind the wheel, according to Newser.

While unsuspecting motorists scrolled through texts and notifications, a camouflaged officer watched from the roadside with binoculars, radioing violations to waiting patrol units.

The six-hour operation ended with 74 distracted driving tickets, proving that plenty of drivers never saw the world's most judgmental bush staring back at them. Police said they targeted the busy downtown stretch because it's packed with traffic and pedestrians, making distracted driving especially dangerous.

New Jersey law bans handheld phone use while driving, with first-time violations carrying fines between $200 and $400. The department defended the unusual tactic as a safety measure, reminding drivers that "That text or notification can wait. Keep your eyes on the road, not your screen."

Apparently, in New Jersey, the bushes aren't just watching anymore, they're writing tickets. And it feels like we're literally one step away from officers just framing people at this point...
