Innovative Local Michigan Police Department Hands Out Christmas Presents Instead of Traffic Tickets

Getting pulled over for a traffic stop is rarely fun. The creative police department in Lowell, Michigan wanted to change that by initiating a holiday experiment. The grand plan: they'd pull motorists over for relatively minor infractions (e.g. an illegally-tinted window), but instead of issuing a citation, they'd surprise the shocked citizens with personalized Christmas gifts. Here's what happened: Pretty cool, huh? The Lowell PD definitely provided some much-needed Christmas cheer to local motorists, but as you know all too well, most traffic stops end with a ticket – not a gift!
