Gingerbread Man is employed to catch crosswalk violators
The Riverside, Calif., sheriff's department may employ the Brothers Grimm as consultants, as their most recent operation to increase traffic safety involved a 7-foot tall Gingerbread Man. The large confection could be seen crossing back and forth for almost an hour at the Moreno Valley crosswalk, and 13 motorists who did not yield to him were cited (we assume in these cases he was advised to "run, run, as fast as he can"). So was this a grab out of the taxpayer cookie jar? Not at all, according to Sgt. Bill Guimont, who points out the crosswalk is in front of an elementary school: “Our concern is if they can’t see a 7-foot Gingerbread Man, then how are they going to see their son or daughter that is only 5 feet tall walking through a crosswalk.” [Source]
