Was this before or after he was pulled over by people dressed as the police and they stole his wallet and watch?
He wasn't pulled over. He was in the Cab and a Rio police officer ran up to the cab and demanded he and the others get out. Being very drunk, he might have thought he had been pulled over, but the cab was stationary when they were forced to get out of it.
Also they were *REAL* Rio police officers, and i'm betting that one or more of them were the sons or nephews of some high-ranking Rio Police officers.
The Rio police department is demonstrably lying about what happened, and I do not think they would take such a risk at getting caught and embarrassed if the people involved weren't important to some high ranking member of the Department.
