A motorist in Fullerton attempted to use a Monopoly “Get Out of Jail Free” card when pulled over for a traffic violation. Police posted about the unusual encounter on social media after the driver handed the board game card to an officer. Police said the officer found humor in the creative approach but explained that while originality was appreciated, the card had no legal value. The driver received an actual citation instead. Officers advised the motorist to keep the Monopoly card “for a rainy day” before letting him go. The police department shared the story as an example of the lighter moments officers sometimes experience during routine traffic stops in the California city. (Story URL)
