From Autoweek, December 9, 2013:

According to lakeelsinore-wildomar.patch.com, drivers in Lake Elsinore, CA, don’t think much of pedestrians. In a recent crackdown on those who fail to yield to pedestrians, a police officer dressed in a bright yellow chicken suit strutted through crosswalks as other officers observed. The ultimate result? Thirty-one citations issued to drivers for failing to give way. “Even though the decoy was wearing a bright yellow costume, most drivers stated that they did not see him crossing the road”, according to the police report.
