All the world's a stage, and some of the cops are actors

For years, bikers racing down highways at well over a hundred miles per hour have left cops eating their dust, with nothing to do but throw their hands up in frustration.

Fed up with watching these speed demons race by, police have begun setting up fake accidents on Israeli highways in order to catch them red-handed as they stop to help the accident victims.

The cops-turned thespians deploy at the crack of dawn, decked out in IDF combat fatigues, and set up the scene of the fake accident, with officers playing the unfortunate accident victims.

The high-speed good Samaritans who stopped to help are speechless, with no clue where they have suddenly found themselves.

One performance ended with one biker losing his license and gaining an invite to the courthouse.
