Slightly? There is a lot more than has been realased.

I know a lot more than I can discuss on here. But for right now if someone try's to pull you over in a unmarked vehicle call 911 and drive to a area where there are people.

There was press conference held at the courthouse today on this very matter. Every news truck in town was out front.

I hope the LEO's have patients with people that don't pull over for them automatically. I told my wife this morning that if she
wasn't sure it was a hwy patrol car or a city police car clearly marked not to stop and call 911. Lot of people are going to be
calling 911 and not stopping and then going to get thrown down on the ground at gun point and hand cuffed because they were
being cautious. Just hope they don't end up like the guy on the video in the other post because they didn't pull over.

They have been instructed to be. Desoto is not making any stops with at all with unmarked cars.

Call 911 and drive to a lighted area.

Very scary indeed! I hope they arent targeting loners. There could very well be a child in the backseat.

This same type approach was taken about 10 years ago in Birmingham. Its a scary thought!

This is nuts. I got pulled over once and he "signaled" for me to pull over by riding my bumper with his brights on. I didn't pull over until he finally flipped the rollers - then when he got to the window he was super mad I hadn't stopped when he turned his brights on.

I say keep going till you get to a public area. Like middle of gas station or fire house or similar.
I have always told wife do not stop unless you see that it is a patrol car or HWY patrol man. Just becuase they have lights dont mean squat. Anything else keep going. Worst they can do is call in another car as well. Once you get to a public place lay on the horn to get attention. Yea you have a pissed off cop but hopefully they will understand completely in situations like this.

I would much rather deal with it in court then lose my wife or child. Then you have cops that will be pissed you did this.

I bet we hear more about cops acting out of line due to this.

WTF man? This was out of line and you would be best served to admit it.
