Question

Help answer this question below.

Can an off-duty police officer pull you over? I had a guy in an unmarked car with tinted windows and lights wearing jeans and a sweater pull me over and yell at me because he claims I cut him off in the rain- which I didn't.

    Often highway patrol and the state police are in unmarked cars. If you didn't feel threatened you could have always asked for his badge number. However just know that there are criminals who impersonate cops.

    • The problem I see with this is I would not want my daughter stopping her car late at night for some guy who is in an unmarked car. I have told her before if this happens to her to keep driving while calling 911 and getting to a very public place.

      There have been people who have impersonated cops before in unmarked cars and even had badges... btw, you can buy real badges on ebay for a few bucks each.
