Boston Police Use Baby Carriage In Driver Sting

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Boston Police say they've been getting several complaints from pedestrians about drivers who won't stop for them in crosswalks.

So they did something about it Wednesday.

Undercover officers set up a sting on Tremont Street in the South End. One of them would cross the street with a baby stroller. They caught 30 drivers breaking the law in just one hour.

In one case, a driver who didn't stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk actually tried to escape - because he was driving a stolen car.

By law, pedestrians have the right of way in a crosswalk, even if the traffic light is green.
