Palm Beach Cops Turn to Drag

Dressing in women’s clothes not just for trannies—it’s the law.

Who among us hasn't thought about going to work in something frilly?

 

While we're sure it helped you get those reports out more efficiently, drag actually helped the West Palm Beach police to snag more speeding drivers.

 

The Palm Beach Post reports that officer Terry Golden - who we thinks favors a young, tax-paying Wesley Snipes - goes undercover in ladies' casual wear as Officer Delicious. Delicious stands at major intersections watching for cars running red lights. When he spots one, he radios to other officers while he continues to patrol for more speeders while looking exceptionally fierce.

 

"I've seen people drive by eating food and when they see me, the food just falls out of their mouth," Golden told the newspaper when they asked about his outfit.

 

The state of Florida is pioneering disguised patrolmen this season. West Palm uses a dude dressed down as a homeless guy to spot speeders, and an Orlando-area department got coverage last week when an officer dressed as an elf -an elf with laser radar. Now who wants that for Christmas?
