I get very scared when I hear something about plain clothes policemen trying to stop someone. Unless they are in uniform I wouldn't have stopped either for some guys trying to force my car to stop. In this case the story is pretty lax on details.

It's always good practice when working U/C to have a marked unit handy and waiting to shut people down (stop them) for you. You are covered that way and there are no questions as to whether or not they are really LEO's.........and you don't blow your cover that way.

We just had a girl murdered here. Pulled over by a guy with lights on his car. They found her body a few days later. Of all the Agencies,the DEA scares the he!! out of me. Like a bunch of loose cannons.
"Police are conducting an investigation with the help of the DEA." Now, that scares the hell out of me!
I'll wait for more info before I say anything else about this...

I received an e-mail today about using your cell phone to call the police if an "unmarked" car is trying to pull you over. The e-mail said a lady dialed "#77" and got dispatch on the radio cause an unmarked car was trying to pull her over. Well dispatch told her to keep on driving towards a gas station. It turns out that "real" cops showed up and arrested some ex-can rapist and they busted him hard!!
I don't know if that #77 is true - maybe 1* knows?
and is it also true (or not) that if an unmarked car is "flashing" to pull you over you can proceed to the nearest public place before stopping? - sounds like asking for trouble if you do this - but then I don't know.

I don't know what to tell ya about the unmarked vehicle thing....it's a sticky situation, and cops aren't happy about these fuggers pulling these stunts. It really screws us over in the end.

I don't know about this un-marked thing either. Anybody can get lights,and a badge. I do hope the cops understand why someone is not sure if they are REALLY a cop. We even had a guy steal a cop car here recently,didn't do anything,but who knows.
The unmarked thing is the part of this artical that bothers me the most....could see ME fleeing som guy with a gun chaseing me....and since it was not the suspect.....some chaseing them when they had no reason to believe the police would be stoping them....of course we dont know how the guy was dressed..looked...I mean if he was dressed like a crack head..pulled a gun and the suspects shot first then what????
The badge, lights ID's ect are way to easy to get.
GALS sells the whole line of police and firefighter gear (ment to be used by real police/fire people) but any nut case with a Crown Vic can make him/her self a police car...lights, cage, radios ect.
Want to see the ID's try www.nles.com
The sell it all..ids, badges, jackets, shirts ect.
The police in Memphis, TN say that if your being pulled over by an unmarked car & your unsure they're actually police to keep driving at a steady speed to the next lighted/populated area & stop. That's what I've told my wife & daughters to do. I bet if you had to drive too far they'd get pretty pissed & give you a hard time when they did stop you.
me and 1*were talking earlier about this and the way i see it is i'm disabled due to a screwed up neck and the only hope i have of defending myself is a weapon. the point i'm trying to make is if you are going to run after me in a hostile manner and you don't have a badge showing . you are going to meet my little friend.lol
( i'm a regular packer ). if i can i will warn you but if there is no time for a warning oh well. but i be a law abiding person and i don't think the law will be chaseing me anytime soon so if someone was to come after me i would assume that he is not a cop. and then i would take the apropriate action so to speak.
No such thing as the #77 number. I heard about this once before and checked into it. There is no "hotline" to the dispatcher. The only number for dispatch is 911. At least thats how it works here.

Well sounds like another victim of this countrys idoitic and unwinnable war on drugs. This is what happens when you turn our cities streets into warzones over something that people have been doing since time itself. If I saw someone out of uniform with a gun in a presumably not so nice side of town I'd run them down to or try to anyway. From the personal expeirence catagory when I was 19 I came within about half a second if chuck ceciling a undercover cop on Milwaukee's north west side. I was coming back from a frat party when as happens often when you drink a copius amount of the frosty brew I developed a serious urination urge. Since me and my future wife were driving through a less than nice part of town none of the gas stations would let me in to releive my self. We stopped at a custard stand only to discover to my horrid disbalief that there was no john in there either. Out of desperation I ran around to the back alley to relieve myself there. Just as I am letting loose I see to plain clothed men running full speed at me. I'm thinking there gonna try and mug me and do god knows what to my girlfreind. Now a little about me in highscholl I played middle linbacker and had a well earned reputation as a head hunting hard hitter. I run 6'3" and weigh 230 lbs. If I hadn't seen the badges come out from shirts hanging from there necks when I did I would have blasted one of them and I can only imagine the world of you know what I would have been in than due to what would have been a honest mistake. As it turns out they were part of a gang/narcotics unit on a stake out. When they saw me run back behind the resturant they thought I was running for a drug pickup. After explaining my situation the laughed but gave me a urination ticket anyways the *******s. The point is as long as we wage this war on our own population these kinds of inncidents are going to continue. I feel they are a mjor reason so many people have a negative attitude towards police that we see today.
