If you recently saw a Marietta police officer in a construction outfit, they weren't confused about which member of the Village People they were.
Those cops were in the middle of a sting to catch distracted drivers, according to a Channel 2 Action News report Thursday.
Undercover officers, positioned by the Big Chicken, wrote 15 distracted driving citations at $150 a pop.
One cop dressed as a surveyor would see the distracted driver and then radio ahead to officers further up the road who would pull the driver over.
The department told Channel 2 that they hope this will remind folks to follow the law even if they don’t see a cop.
Remember, you can’t text while driving — even while stopped at a light.
Channel 2 reported that officers also issued 13 seat belt citations and eight miscellaneous traffic violations.
