cop-catcher 

The first car in a group of speeding cars. The cop-catcher is the first one to hit the cop's radar at a speed-trap and usually the only one to get a ticket.

Instead of doing 70 in a 65, I can now safely go 80 since this idiot cop-catcher is doing 100!

A metal frame at the front of a locomotive for pushing aside cattle or other obstacles on the line.

The car was caught and held up by the cowcatcher.
