Police: Fake cop pulled over real officer

HARTFORD, Conn. - Hartford police say a city man picked the wrong time to impersonate a police officer.

Authorities say they arrested 20-year-old Israel Gomez early Tuesday when he pulled over a motorist who just happened to be an off-duty Hartford police lieutenant. Another car driven by Gomez's alleged accomplice was also involved in the bogus traffic stop.

Police say Gomez turned on flashing lights on his 1994 Honda Civic, sounded a siren and used a loudspeaker to order Lt. Ronald Bair to pull over. Bair called for backup, and officers arrested Gomez and 20-year-old Esteban Cardona.

Gomez is charged with impersonating a police officer, reckless driving and improper use of red flashing lights. Cardona is charged with reckless driving. Both men were released and await court appearances

I wonder, was he doing this for fun or what? I mean what purpose would there be in doing this at all? It's not like he's going to be getting money from a ticket or anything like that.

I thought fake officers only pulled over women to assault them.

Maybe he wanted to assault this guy?

Just that. Mainly boredom.

He got confused by the Honda.

A friggin' Honda Civic as cop car?????


And whats up with the reckless driving bit?

Yeah, who the fuck pulls over for a Honda Civic? All he woulda got from me is a one-finger wave.

A mate of mine used to do that with a nova, he had a blue light under the front grill and a loud hailer. (this was like 10 years ago)

Did you help your mate mount the siren?

Nope, why do you ask?

So your mate mounted the siren by himself? That sounds like it would be hard. Do you know if it was hard?

Poodle is working on a very weak joke.

No idea..

Are you trying to come out?

No. I just watched the british version of the office last night. Garret always fell for those jokes.
