Police: Fake officer tries to stop real officer

AP - Sunday, July 26

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.

The officer, Jim Beere, says Martinez probably thought he'd be an easy mark to rob.

It's getting way too easy to impersonate officers these days.  The means to do it is no longer expensive.  We need new laws to make the punishments far more severe, IMO.

Not severe enough. How about pits of flesh eating ants? Painful for the guilty and we get awesome new exhibits at the zoos.
