this is not a legit police unit.
“Initially, to me, it looked exactly like a police car. It was a police car, it had the push bumpers, a whole light array on the back. It said ‘police interceptor dial 911’ as well as ‘K-9 stay back,'” Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said.
He ran the license plate number and it didn’t come back to a police agency -- it came back to an individual. Bouchard activated his emergency lights and pulled the vehicle over.
The windows were so tinted that it was impossible to see who was behind the window. The driver rolled down the window.
“He looks at me and says, ‘Who are you?’ And I said, ‘I’m the sheriff. Who are you?'" Bouchard said.
Bouchard said there was a fake radar mounted on the dashboard and what was supposed to look like a computer aided dispatch computer. He also found a loaded .45 glock and a large Bowie knife.

There are cities and municipalities that I've visited where this fellow would be just as qualified to be a cop as the legit cops. It sure makes you wonder what's up, such as a string of missing persons that can be attributed to this man, or maybe he's just a sad pathetic guy who wants to be around the police and feel important. When I was stationed at Ramstein AB in Germany Law Enforcment aprehended a teenaged German national who sneaked on base in a home made military uniform just so he could sit in common areas and watch what was going on. In the end he was found to be a harmless voyeur, who was very lucky he didn't get shot for being an East German terrorist infiltrator.
ReplyDeleteDressed in uniform to get on base just to check it out... wow, that is one fascinated, yet bored, kid.
DeleteI'm thinking this wanna be is the common sad and pathetic type, right up til we see that he's carrying a 45, with ammo, and a big damn knife.
That puts him in the dangerous and wacko category.
Now the police need to sift through all the records of missing teens, etc etc, and anywhere this wanna be could be hiding sex slaves, dead bodies, etc.
Remember, in the back of his SUV was a cage.
Raises my suspicions!
This also reminds me that more people need to be cautious about cops, to the extent that 1st they need to determine if they are being pulled over by real police.
DeleteAnd this wanna be was operating in the Detroit Metro area
You're exactly right. a .45 and a knife escalates the situation considerably.
