After being stopped by police for riding without a helmet, an Easter Bunny on a motorcycle found himself in legal trouble.
The rabbit (actually a man dressed in a costume, in case there was any confusion) surprised officers as he made his way along a Californian highway without any headgear.
However, highway patrol official Adam Griffiths chose to address the issue instead of letting the bunny go free.
Griffiths reportedly communicated via radio to his fellow officers, stating: ‘I’m stopping the Easter Bunny.’
One colleague, taken aback by the sight of someone in bunny attire, decided to snap a photo.
‘His outfit was a visual impairment, rendering him unable to be aware of his surroundings, thereby posing a threat to both his safety and that of others,’ said a spokesman for the California highway patrol.
‘Griffiths explained it was a serious matter and that it wasn’t a joke.’
Ultimately, the motorcyclist was on his way to a charity event and was permitted to continue after receiving a stern warning from the police.
