Mannequins deployed in police uniforms are the latest law enforcement strategy in Bangalore, India, appearing at junctions sporting full traffic cop attire comprising of a white hat and shirt, and hi-vis vest bearing the police insignia.
Through randomly replacing police officers with mannequins at police intersections, it's hoped that more motorists will abide by traffic regulations. But why does this need arise?

Man 2: "We do not, do not follow rules even if they [police] are real. Then, how could it work when they are not even moving and running after us?"
