The thing is - it's so hard to determine (especially night) -if a unmarked car is trying to pull you over... - I guess it casts doubt for alot of people who are hearing or have experienced these so called wannabee cops...

none of these people acutly do anything , if they just say we got you doing 5 km/h over and let them off with a warning theyd just think he was
a cop having a good day.
besides , youd know it was a fake if they dont have duty belt on , there is
two of them and they dont have a blue strobe and dash lights.

Quite often I've had people hit the skids pretty hard as they drive past my car.
