This Cop Pulls Over Drivers Before Giving Them $100 in This Feel-Good Prank

When a cop pulls you over, the first thought on your mind is that you may given a ticket that could lighten your wallet. This positive police prank shows that in certain miraculous situations, you could actually end up richer for being pulled over.

The prank proceeds as follows: a burly mustachioed cop pulls over unwitting motorists and walks up to the driver-side window and asks the generic police pull-over question, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" When the motorists reply in the negative, the police informs them that he is pulling them over to praise them for wearing their seat belt, coming to a complete stop or being a safe driver, before handing them $100.

Many of the prank victims exult in the unexpected pleasant surprise of being given $100 by a gruff-looking cop, but others gaze into the distance in pure confusion.
