He’d be more convincing if he ditched the Brownie cap.

Police warn drivers to use caution when they are stopped by police. Police said drivers should turn on their vehicle's emergency flashers, drive to the nearest well-lit, populated area before stopping and ask for the officer's official identification if it seems questionable. Drivers can also call 911 and ask the call taker to verify the traffic stop, police said. At which point the driver will be tazed, hog tied and hauled off to the pokey. :)

Notice that the real officer, a woman, stopped for the phony “cop.”
That’s screwed up, but our system doesn’t tolerate anything else. Someone flashes blue lights at you, you have to stop or else endure a world of pain.
So even the cop chick stopped for the fakester.
Why have we devolved to this point? For one thing, because police use unmarked vehicles for interdiction. That’s a big No-No.
Unmarked vehicles should be used *only* for surveillance.
But because those unmarked vehicles are abused to do more than just survey, we’ve gotten to a point where any rapist in a Crown Vic can “pull over” any woman on any road at any time.
And the woman pretty well has to stop (even the *cop* in this article stopped) because everyone is intimidated by what will happen if they are accused of running from a real undercover policeman (cue wild-eyed rants about how tough we are that we wouldn’t stop...easy to say over the Internet...harder to do in real life).
Which is screwed up.
If police *only* pulled over people when in marked vehicles...and saved unmarked vehicles for observation instead of interdiction, then we wouldn’t be in this position.
Thus, the misuse of real police vehicles (e.g. the unmarked variants) needs to stop. Unmarked cop cars should be used for undercover surveillance, not interdiction.

That or maybe he gets to go right to the local psycho SWAT team, kicking in the wrong door and blowing a few innocent people away.
To: Southack
And the way they are making some of the marked cars (low profile lights, more normal looking) allows them to be used a little more discreetly - but still people would be able to determine they were a real police vehicle.

Hed be more convincing if he ditched the Brownie cap. LOL! I wondered what that was. ;o)
