And lasted for only minutes in the jurisdiction when seen by sharp deputies
A fake police car would only last seconds anywhere in my jurisdiction. We look carefully at all police vehicles and check out anyone in our jurisdiction... for just this reason and many more
You will not find this a common occurrence... you will find fake unmarked cars...
We are also required to carry both a badge and picture id...and in our case our drivers license as well.
Unmarked cars also have special indicators only we know to check them as being legitimate.
Now... illigitimate government vehicles ..yes.. that does happen.. regularly...the cartels have tried all manners of vehicles to get drugs across the border
Fake marked vehicles are not an issue...
Nor really are drivers who fail to yield for marked cars... very very small percent of incidents in the real world...
As stated.. I also tactically pick where I want you to stop.. and I want safe approaches.. well lit areas.. public if possible with as many witnesses as possible with as few escape routes as possible. Many other factors also go into where I stop you...
Why do you always assume that every police department and cop in the country is exactly like the town where you live?

Why do you assert most arent
Most are....
I'm not sure its necessary to take the time to explain why to you... suffice to say law enforcement in the US is pretty homogenized today state to state.
Well, here is another "gift" from law enforcement...
For years, police departments and media have been suggesting that people wait until they are in a well lit area to stop for police signaling to pull over.
Actually, it HAS been stated by media who say that the police suggest that you can drive to a well lit area to pull over. This usually follows a story about someone impersonating an officer, pulling someone over, and attacking the person.
Frankly, I would get on the phone with 911 right away were I that concerned, and ensure that it was indeed a cop following me. I haven't been pulled over in some time, so suddenly getting pulled over would be surprising.
If they are in a patrol car they aren't impersonating an officer. That advice is for unmarked cars only.
That article makes it sound like it is in regards to being pulled over by an unmarked car, that makes more sense. A marked police car with a uniformed officer should be more obvious to the driver to pull over at the first safe spot.
Exactly! This is the truth. It's about unmarked cars.
Kansas City has had a former cop car with lights acting as an in service one that the are searching for because of fake stops.
Oh wow, one damn city. Regardless, the idea of waiting for a well lit area is for UNMARKED cars. Keep driving when you have a cop behind you and see what happens.

What usually happens:
The prosecutor, so as not to embarrass themselves, attempts to coerce the 'guilty' party into accepting a plea to a lesser charge; when that fails, they drop all charges.
(But, only when the citizens of the area are doing their duty and paying attention)

Why would they embarrass themselves?
