MARIETTA, Ga. — It’s been nearly a year since a law combating distracted driving passed in Georgia, and police are getting creative to make sure drivers keep adhering to it.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports three Marietta police officers posed as utility workers Wednesday. They sought drivers on their phones or not wearing a seat belt near a busy intersection.
Once they spotted a violator, the undercover officers radioed police in nearby parking lots. Then, those officers pulled over the drivers.
