Cop Impersonator with His Own Station

So, not only does this guy have uniforms, badges, handcuffs, a car with a siren and lights, but he also had his own police station. He rented a run-down office on the fourth floor of a building and created records of possible crimes. You would think that the police in the area would spot him and think, "hmmm, he is wearing a police uniform with badges and has a police car, but he isn't part of our police unit. Maybe we should investigate." - but they didn't. Not until he was arrested for reckless endangerment.

While acting as a police officer, this guy would stop cars on traffic volations and interogate "suspected criminals" by handcuffing them to a chair. At one point he successfully convienced a driver to trade him vehicles to aid in a undercover opperation. He then took that vehicle and tradded it for another along with $600. It is hard to believe that a person would give their car to a police officer without questioning the situation.

This might make you think if you get pulled over by a police officer.
