Officer impersonation is a nationwide crime, and it has flourished in recent years with brazen criminals sometimes going to great lengths to pull off their ruse.
Только по одному Ню-Юрку около сотни подобных случаев ежегодно:
New York City police arrest about 100 suspects annually on charges of impersonating an officer. The NYPD has a specialized unit, believed to be the only one in the country, dedicated to solving cases where a suspect impersonates an officer.
The majority of the cases are home invasions or robberies, like the suspect who rode around on a bike with a set of handcuffs and robbed people on the street. Last month, men posing as officers committed a string of robberies.
некоторые вообще распоясались:
A Long Island man was sentenced last month for running a virtual one-man police department, complete with a car with sirens and a fake police station where he handcuffed his victims to a chair.

Вот совет на одном сайте:
If you suddenly see flashing lights behind you (especially at night), don’t pull over until you’re in a well-lit or populated area. Throw on your hazard lights and slow down a little, and a real police officer will take that as a sign that you acknowledge them and will stop at the first opportunity. Once you’ve reached a gas station, convenience store, or somewhere else where there are other people around, it’s safe to stop.

именно так обьяснила свое поведение та женщина, которая не сразу остановилась (за что получила своей мордой в асфальт)
Ога, но не забываем - женщина ехала днем, женщина не включила аварийку, женщина не уменьшила скорость, женщина остановилась не в общественном месте, а посреди трассы, передумав искать общественное место, и не пердумав ссылаться на это в суде, женщина не выполнила прямого приказа офицера выйти из машины, повторенного не менее 10 раз. Только после этого мордой об асфальт и вполне заслуженно. ИМХО.
А в остальном, прекрасная маркиза....©
Its becoming a disturbingly familiar scene in America - aggressive, overbearing and mentally unstable cops who think that it is an arrestable offense not to obey their every order - harassing citizens who have done absolutely nothing wrong
Christopher Sean Harris, from Edmonds, suffered permanent brain damage when he was tackled by deputies in May 2009. Harris' family filed a civil lawsuit against King County, claiming deputies used unnecessary force when they arrested him after a chase, knocking his head into a wall.
John Cobb, the senior prosecutor on the case for the county, confirmed the settlement five days after the civil trial began on January 20. The settlement is believed to be the largest of its type against King County.
Harris' wife said the settlement will help care for her husband, but it can't change the fact that he is still paralyzed and can't speak.
"I feel like, for the King County Sheriff's Department to agree to pay this amount of money, it should say that a investigation should be done into what happened," said Sarah Harris. "I don't know how they would agree to pay that amount and not feel like something was wrong."
Harris was a passer-by when Metro transit deputies responded to an assault at a convenience store in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood in the early hours of Mother's Day 2009. A witness wrongly identified Harris as a suspect. Harris ran in fear of his life because they were not identifiable as police, and deputies chased him. Harris then stopped a few blocks away at the Cinerama Theater, and one of the deputies tackled him, knocking him into a concrete wall. The impact caused Harris to hit the back of his head against the wall and he suffered a severe brain injury. Harris is now unable to walk, talk or take care of himself.
