If I was the officer, I wouldn't touch this case with a 39-and-a-half-foot pole.

The Department of Public Safety shared this story on their Twitter account Tuesday.

Do we actually think this lady thought she'd get away with using the Grinch as her carpool passenger?

No, of course not, she's just being absolutely hilarious and bringing everyone holiday joy.

Sure, it was an inflatable Grinch in the car.

But if you ask me, the police are the grinches in this case. They gave the lady a ticket!

If I was an officer I would take the photo, say, "Well played, don't try it again, Merry Christmas."

But I guess that's too much to expect these days!
