Deputies in Monroe County says they have a possible police impersonator that has attempted to pull vehicles over using a flashing light on the dash of a vehicle which is described as a dark colored Cadillac.
Authorities say if an unmarked vehicle is attempting to pull you over, turn on your hazard lights and call the dispatch number in that area to confirm that the traffic stop is legitimate.
Turning on your hazard lights will let the officer know that you are complying with the stop, but in the process of finding a safe pullover location. Try to always pull over in an occupied area and a well lit area if you’re being pulled over at night time.
Once stopped, ask the officer for their department identification if needed to further solidify the legitimacy of the stop.
