Traffic cops ticket pickup two days in row, despite dead body inside
A second ticket means you need to look, check up on what's going on, instead of add another ticket. A ticket on top of a ticket is absurd, says a local resident.
Traffic cops ticketed an illegally parked pickup truck two days in a row - even though there was a dead man inside.
Officers apparently failed to spot the lifeless body of Jayme Earle, 26, slumped in the passenger seat when they slapped fines on his vehicle on Tuesday and Wednesday.
It was only when a passerby called cops to check out the vehicle, which had been parked for three days on a street in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that his corpse was discovered.

Then I saw the picture of the truck. I'm guessing the cops who wrote the tickets won't be promoted to detectives any time soon.
