The other night at 11 p.m., my daughter was pulled over in her car by an unmarked police car. She was very concerned that the person who pulled her over was not actually an officer but didn’t know what to do. Please advise.
As Authorities are searching for four men who impersonated police officers and robbed a 52-year-old man in Valley Stream on December 30, they are offering some advise if getting pulled over by an unmarked car.
Det. Sgt. Anthony Repalone of the Nassau County Police Department said that they encourage anyone who feels anxiety or concern when being stopped by an unmarked police car to follow certain advice. “We recommend that you put your flashers on, pull into a well-lit, public place and use your cell phone to call 911,” Repalone said. “We will send a uniformed officer in a marked car there.”
He added that the county’s plain clothes officers understand that people may question if they are real officers, but noted that they all carry shields along with a photo ID, so people should ask to see both. “We understand the anxiety and apprehension,” Repalone said.
