Michigan cops surprise drivers with gifts, not tickets ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The requests are relayed via hidden mic to a store, where VanSolkema’s fellow police officers track down the desired item, get it wrapped (fast) and deliver it roadside. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Giving a police officer a hug may not be the first thing that springs to mind when you get pulled over for a traffic infraction. But drivers in Lowell, MI., couldn’t help themselves after the local police department played Santa on the roads over two days last month. A video posted to the Lowell’s YouTube account shows Officer Scot VanSolkema pulling over unsuspecting drivers on minor traffic violations. As he writes up the ticket, VanSolkema makes small talk, asking drivers about their holiday wish lists. One driver needs a new TV. Another says her son wants an electric scooter, but she doesn’t think she can pull it off. The requests are relayed via hidden mic to a store, where VanSolkema’s fellow police officers track down the desired item, get it wrapped (fast) and deliver it roadside. After receiving a present, one driver asks VanSolkema: “How did you do this?” The officer says: “We’ve got radios and sleighs and magic elves and stuff.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Video: https://youtube/watch?v=mlnxajQrL8w#t=15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Read more: ctvnews.ca/world/michigan-cops-surprise-drivers-with-gifts-not-tickets-1.2141443#ixzz3LWOev4Lq
