If the 911 operator has verified your vehicle description and your location, stop immediately for the officer. • If you are unsure, (with your hazard lights activated) drive to the nearest public area where possible police impersonators are less likely to engage drivers. • If it is nighttime, (with your hazard lights activated) drive to a well lit area, another disincentive for those fraudulently trying to stop your vehicle. • If the unmarked or covert car is being operated by a plainclothes officer, you may request that a uniform officer respond to the scene.</p> http://laist.com/2008/10/27/alleged_fake_sheriff_pulls_woman_ov.php#comment-1497801 http://laist.com/2008/10/27/alleged_fake_sheriff_pulls_woman_ov.php#comment-1497801 Comments Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:11:05 -0800 <p>True of False: You don't have to stop for an unmarked cop car in the State of California?</p>
