the state police tried that here a few years ago on the turnpike John, but no dummies in the cars. just a spare older patrol car parked in the median, semi hidden behind a bridge abutment or something with a turned on radar gun.
it worked for about 6 months, with the cars being moved once a week, until a dirtbag stole the tires and rims off one of the dummy cars and left it sitting on blocks.
that was the end of unsecured, unmanned cars on the side of the road.
like the time back in 76, i was on the force for about 1 1/2 years, and we decided to prank one of the lazy road Sargent's.
we snuck up on him while he was sleeping in a parking lot, and put a bottle jack under the rear diff, lifting the wheels about 1 inch off the ground.
then one of the guys got in his 67 427 4 speed vette roadster with the side-pipes, and laid a patch of rubber rite in front of him at 11 pm. he woke up, hit the lights and siren, slammed the car in gear,
and went nowhere with the engine redlining!!

Thats hilarious too!
My uncle (rip) used to tell me lots of good stories about the town cops they had.
He said guys used to smoke their tires right in front of the cop, just to get a chase going, and if you got caught with booze in your vehicle, you better have a drink or two for Noble Peterson, or you would get a ticket haha.
