Officers with the Tucson Police Department brought out two of their 'fakest' and finest on Thursday, August 16, using a mannequin to stop violators on the south side of Tucson.

"It's fun. It's challenging to try and get people to change their driving behaviors. Because that's ultimately why we're out here," Nolan said.
