FULLERTON, Calif. - A California driver did not pass ‘go’ over the weekend and did not collect $200 despite using a handy "Get out of jail free" Monopoly card.

According to the Fullerton Police Department, one of its officers recently pulled over a driver for a traffic violation and was surprised to be handed that very card.

"In a last-ditch effort to get out of a citation, the driver handed over a Monopoly ‘Get out of jail free’ card," police shared on social media.

"The officer had a good laugh, reminded the driver that while creativity is appreciated, it's not exactly a legal defense, and told him to save the card for a rainy day."

The driver was issued a citation, police said.
