It would be amusing to see the police argue in court that a green plush dinosaur counts as “other human facsimile” Given its size, strapping it into the front seat seems like a perfectly reasonable way to transport it.

I’d like to see them argue that it’s clearly a dinosaur facsimile.

I was there, the Dino’s drove like people from Los Angeles, that’s how they died out, nobody listens to me.

I’m no expert, but I don’t think that “pet” dinosaur is real.

I was certain when saw this thread that the driver used a chicken, but no.

Do they let you have lawyers in traffic court? Dinosaur Facsimile might get him out of the extra fine.
Your Honor. Clearly my client did not intend the large green stuffed animal to be a human facsimile. JUST LOOK AT IT!

Sorry, but that defense only works for giant stuffed bananas.
