...Mass. State Police say that around 6:30 a.m. Thursday, Trooper John Carnell was working a detail in Quincy when he reportedly saw a vehicle enter the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane of I-93 northbound, also known as the Southeast Expressway, with what appeared to be a counterfeit passenger.
The vehicle was then pulled over on I-93 by Carnell, when State Police found that the driver had allegedly propped up a work jacket with a mannequin head affixed to the top of the jacket in an attempt to create the illusion of a true passenger.
...State Police note that this is not the first time that Carnell has pulled someone over for having a fake passenger. Back in April 2013, he pulled someone over and found that a woman had reportedly placed a full-size doll in a car seat, in an effort to pass the doll off as a real passenger.
