Being a former Law Dawg-I love to hear stories like this of these POS's getting busted.
I had an incident when I worked for the County and I got pulled over for "making" an illegal"U" turn. I had made the turn and was starting to pick up speed when I noticed a Dodge Reliant pull up behind me with a red dash light flashing. Since the Reliant was what the local police drove I figured a fellow officer wanted to talk so I pulled over and waited for the officer to approach my vehicle-when on officer wanted to talk 'face-to-face' standard protocol was for the approaching officer to come up on the passenger side of the vehicle and this way they would be out of traffic . Anyhoo this kid walks up to my door and pulls out his wallet, badges me with a security badge and said "Do you know why I pulled you over?" I'm sitting there thinking "He has got to be kidding!" I asked to see his badge and he refused to show it to me. I then asked him "How would you like to spend sometime in the County lockup?" He had this "What do you mean" look on his face so when I got out of my vehicle-(in uniform) he then decides to beat feet back to his car. He ended up laying face down on the road and wearing my cuffs and I removed from his person a .357 revolver, a set of cuffs and two sets of id.
Just as I made it back to my car to call for a tow truck to impound the kids car, a marked Police unit pulls up and the Officer gets out and says "Well, Looks like you caught him"! Came to find out that this 19 year old kid had been impersonating a police officer and making vehicle stops on unsuspecting people for about a week. He would tell the people that if they gave him $20.00 he wouldn't issue them a traffic citation.
The local police officer and I then searched this kids car and found a .45 pistol, a 9mm pistol, and a snub nosed 38 revolver all within reach of the drivers seat. In the glove box we found another .45 and under the passenger seat we found a .357 revolver. In the cars trunk we found another 5 handguns and plenty of ammo for all the weapons we found. Sure made my day!
