Well, hopefully that will be the end of this simple scumbag’s “criminal justice” career ambitions.

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.

I knew a sheriff who was pulled over by a safety policeman. Their main job is to provide traffic escorts for funerals. Usually they ride motor cycle and wear a uniform. When the sheriff was stopped on the freeway he was off duty and not wearing his uniform. He was a fun loving like of guy and also knew from the uniform what the this guy was not a policeman. The barney want to be came up and started to write him a ticket, The sheriff started asking question, how long has the department been use that model of cycle, is that a new style of uniform. After a warning ticket Mr. Barney told the sheriff “You should consider joining the police you seem very interested in the work.” This was when barney was told the rest of the story. The sheriff was not in the city where he worked so he used the guys own handcuffs to cuff him to a sign and called the local police to come pick him up and left him on the side of the road.

What is scary about this story is the young punk pulling over a female...

Many years ago (say at least 20) there was a real police officer that would pull over young women in a rather secluded area of the freeway. He directed them through an off ramp into an undeveloped area. The young women were never heard from again. They finally caught him after he'd killed several women.

This was in San Diego and they did an American Justice show about it.

In my opinion, unmarked vehicles should not be allowed for use of traffic enforcement. An interesting item, since I am originally from Indiana, I keep up with the legislature there and here in Colorado. In Indiana, there is Senate Bill #11 sponsored by a former law enforcement officer that would do away with the requirement that a police officer must be in a uniform when doing a traffic stop in an unmarked car. Pretty dumb. I think of the safety of women who see someone who “pulled them over” and see the “officer” get out in plain clothes. She wouldn’t know if the “officer” is legit or some dangerous moron like this idiot in Virginia.
