Caught a post about this on facebook. Here is part of the story from the AJC:

A man allegedly masquerading as a police officer pulled over a woman's vehicle Wednesday night, and now Paulding County authorities are looking for him. The woman told the sheriff’s office that a man driving a dark-colored vehicle that looked like an "unmarked police car" pulled over her vehicle on Hitchcock Road around midnight. She said the suspect's vehicle had blue flashing lights in the front and back windows.

He parked his car in front of hers and turned off the lights, she said. When the suspect asked for her driver's license, she noticed that he wasn't wearing a badge or a name tag on his jumpsuit, she said. She refused to get out of her car when he asked her to do so, instead requesting that the man follow her to a public parking lot, authorities said. He asked once more before saying "never mind" and leaving, the woman told police.

“It is OK to slow down and proceed to the nearest lighted parking lot to stop,” Paulding County Sheriff Gary Gulledge said in a news release, adding that residents can call 911 to make sure the vehicle behind them is really a police officer.

To indicate to an officer that you are not trying to flee, slow down and activate your hazard lights, authorities said.

Call 911 immediately if you believe the suspect is trying to make a traffic stop. The suspect is described as a stocky black male between 6-foot-2 and 6-foot-3. He was wearing a dark-colored, long-sleeve jumpsuit.

Anyone with information on the case should call the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office at 770-443-3010.

My sister tried that oncein NC. Dropped 10 below speed limit, flashers, and called 911.  Before the operator verified the cop she had several others behind her, and when she did pull over she was ordered out at gun point and made to lay face first on the side of the road...it was raining too just to add insult to injury.  Cops came up yanked phone out of her hands wwith 911 still on phone recording everything, knees in her back and almost got her arm dislocated while they weere putting here in cuffs.........


Fun times.

Even after several complaints she never even got an apology.

This is why Georgia passed a law a long time ago that cars that are used primarily for traffic duties cannot be unmarked.

Quoted:


Yeah, but there are also legal restrictions on how many slick-top cars a department or trooper post can use for traffic enforcement, which seem to get ignored regularly.

Very true.

Code section says roof mounted lights. Most agencies get around that because the code section doesn't specify interior or exterior mounted. Therefore they go away from a traditional light bar and opt for interior mounted bars.

Quoted:


I don't see how anything NOT mounted on the roof could be considered "roof mounted".

My roof is on the outside.  The inside is the ceiling.
