Fake Police of Vienna
Oh, how we love Vienna. And oh, how pissed we are that we didn't see any of these for ourselves when we were there. They're probably not in the center city, but in the outer districts.
There are some life-sized photo cut outs of cops set up around town and in the 'burbs, meant to scare hooligans enough that they'll think twice before doing anything illegal. Some are used to spook speeding motorists. Does this mean that someone, somewhere, actually has enough faith in people to trust his or her fellow Austrians to obey a cardboard cop? How sweet.
