If you haven't finished your Christmas shopping yet, might we suggest you speed through the streets of Lowell, Michigan (east of Grand Rapids) -- maybe have a car with illegally tinted windows to increase your odds of being stopped by the cops.
“I was a little nervous as to how this was going to go. ‘Cause ordinarily people don’t like getting pulled over by the police,” Lowell officer Scot VanSolkema said about the TV-inspired promotion to give Christmas presents to people.
No one who was pulled over actually got a ticket.
