Was the faux officer threatening? Could the individual simply have driven off? I would like to read a lot more details.

Gangs of Amish have migrated from Mexico City and are impersonating police officers. Nothing wrong with that scenario that more range time wouldn’t cure.

Years ago, there was a “faux” officer in my county. The car was equipped with one of those magnetic red/blue globe tops and everything. Perp was pulling over females at night, flashing a badge and doing a roadside sobriety. He then raped them. The county police issued a statement advising if a plain clothes officer pulls you over, you can request a uniformed officer and/or drive within the speed limit to a police station. Good advice IMHO.

I think that the protocol is that the cop doesn’t ask the driver to step out of the car unless there are more than one cop there. Am I wrong?

Committing a strong arm robbery while impersonating an officer isn’t threatening? If a guy is impersonating a cop, it can be reasonably assumed he also has a gun.

The victim needs to work on his aim but overall, a positive outcome.

When criminals start impersonating LEOs with customized vehicles, and a suspicious citizenry finds it necessary to shoot them...

Wow, talk about a total collpase of society.

Isn’t Indiana the state that recently decided you don’t have the right to resist with force police officers entering your home without a warrant, even when you suspect they are impersonators?
