Some of you completely missed the point of my post. This same ruse happens regularly all over Fl, and was recently going on in our vicinity. . For this reason it should be illegal to make traffic stops with unmarked cars. If the motoring public can not discern between the good guys and the bad guys at a glance, we are putting ourselves in jeopardy every time we stop for unmarked cop cars. There is no reason unmarked cops can not wait on a marked car to respond and make the stop when they find a law breaker or suspect.

The creep should be kept in prison.

@Esc co leo
The problem isn’t the penalty being stiffer. Regardless the sentence given, it’s the punishment itself that needs to be harsher. By the looks of the number of people in prison or on probation, prison seems not to be a deterrent. Therefore, something is wrong. The prisons need to be more harsh so as to make these individuals think twice about senseless crime. It’s one thing to steal to be truely feeding your family, quite another in matters like this.
More power for state officers regarding criminal punishment.

Florida Highway Patrol has started using what is called “Stealth / Subdued Cruiser” that has no Law Enforcement lights on the roof, no obvious Blue Lights.
No obvious side panel markers, they are there but blend in with the paint of the patrol car.
Few drivers would pick them up easily because they look like any other sedan on the highway. They are Racking Up the tickets.
Just be warned, the speed limit signs and the requirements to be a legal operator are there for a reason.
As Daddy used to say, “Spending your money to pay a ticket and court costs is about the biggest waste of money you can do”.

Impersonating a law enforcement officer is probably the stupidest thing a person could ever attempt! First off, you are not trained how to deal with the public and could easely be shot and killed! I wanted to impersonate Super Man as a child but I will leave it up to the trained men and woman who risk their lives every day to make all of our lives safer. ALWAYS remember this, the real officers take this crime VERY PERSONAL, whether they mean to or not. Just don’t do it!!

Regarding:
“Some states have made it illegal for cops to make traffic stops with unmarked cars.”

This is reasonable but does nothing to stop people who intend to break the law anyway. Plus there are frequently news reports about people being gunned down even WHEN fully complying with law enforcement officers.

Fear is understandable.

Some states have made it illegal for cops to make traffic stops with unmarked cars. Cases like this highlight the need for such laws in Fl. If the car doesn’t have blue lights on the roof, and agency markings on the side, I’m not stopping anyway.

Bob C are you saying men who identified as women used this for sexual assault or just that if you identify as female but are male you should use the bathroom based on your birth sex?

Guy’s defense will be that he “Identified” as a cop at the time.
This worked with Target when men who “identified” as females gained the store’s and some of societies blessing of ‘Access’ to the women’s restroom areas.
Modern thinking is that all one has to do is Think they are this or that and they are.
“Frankenstein has Identified as a brain surgeon” therefore he can operate on someone.
This society and some segments of it are rapidly becoming something with which I cannot in any way “identify”.

There’s no way I would pull over without confirmation from a 911 dispatcher that I was being stopped and I’d like to think the officer would understand my concern.
