OAKLAND, Calif. —  Oakland police say a man impersonating a police officer tried to pull over a real undercover officer and was arrested.

Police say 21-year-old Antonio Fernandez Martinez of Oakland was arrested Wednesday in the Fruitvale district after trying to pull over an unmarked police vehicle. Martinez was driving a Ford Crown Victoria outfitted with flashing lights, a microphone and speakers.

Martinez, a convicted car thief, will have his felony probation revoked and could face a prison term.

I will say this…the whole “unmarked police car” operation is shady business. I’ve been pulled over once in my life (knock on wood) and it was by a fucking unmarked cop car. I felt cheated by the system on that fateful day, so I would like to help all of our readers avoid such an incident in the future.

So whether you are trying to avoid unmarked po po or pull them over in your Crown Victoria, Yahoo Answers might help. I usually look for antennas on the trunk and/or roof.
