A good idea for anyone, especially for females, is if a person tries to instigate a traffic stop on you, and that person is not in a clearly marked police car or an undercover car that you know is a police vehicle because it’s lit up like a Christmas tree, call 911 immediately, advise them of the situation, and ask for them to send an officer to a public location, and stay on the phone until you see that officer. No one will fault you for this because criminals have been known to impersonate law enforcement, and many agencies have a policy that all traffic stops must be instigated by a clearly marked police vehicle exactly for this reason. The officers in the local police agencies have mothers, wives, sisters and so on—they understand.

A few years back in Oklahoma City, a guy kept pulling women over and raping them. He was in an unmarked car and carried a badge, had those attachable lights. Then Governor Keating issued a statement to the women of Oklahoma, never pull over to a unmarked police car. Go to the closest police station or find a police officer. At the very least go to a very public area before pulling over. I just love Governor Keating!
