Easter Bunny Pulled Over for Helmet Law Violation
Gets away with warning, though, in the true Easter spirit of charity and forgiveness, reports CBS Los Angeles:
Brian Pennings, a public information officer for the CHP in East County, told CBSLA that an officer was on routine patrol on Interstate 8 when he observed a man dressed up as a giant rabbit on a motorcycle traveling down the highway near San Diego.

North Korean propaganda about life in America.
