July 18 (UPI) -- The California Highway Patrol shared a photo of a mannequin used by an accused carpool lane cheater cited on the highway.

The CHP nicknamed the faux passenger "Angel."

"Angel didn't have much of a personality as a passenger when we met her this morning during our Carpool Enforcement on #hwy4," the tweet said. "She just oddly stared at us while we issued her chauffeur a ticket for carpool violation."
