They later tracked down the owner, who complained about the police action.
"It is my understanding that the owner was incredulous that we took action in this matter," police chief L Edward Moore said in a statement.
"He apparently was quite vocal and vulgar to my sergeant."
Chief Moore had this message for mannequin owners.
"Just to clear the record, all citizens of Hudson should be put on notice that if you park your locked vehicle on the street on a sub-zero night with a life-size realistic mannequin seated in it... we will break your window."

the owner should be locked up for wasting police time.
Because he left a dummy in a car? Where's the law that says don't leave a dummy in your car because an equally dum cop will think it's a real person? Perhaps the driver should have blu'tacked a message "I'm not real" to the mannequin's forehead though.popeyewhite said:

don't be facetious, how would anyone know it was a dummy? It is like leaving a realistic dog or dummy baby in hot weather , it looks real. The same laws as why you can't walk around with a replica gun.popeyewhite said:

Or put it in the boot like a normal person would, instead of driving about with an apparently dead person beside you.If a 'dumb cop' had seen this and done nothing about it, I think it would have been worse.

The owner probably had the dummy there so they could use the car pool lanes on freeways whilst actually being alone. Now they have to sit like a sap in traffic jams, that's why they were pissed off.
That'll be it.

Negative aspect of assuming it was a dummy = dead grandma
negative aspect of assuming it was a grandma = broken window for the dick who left the dummy there.
