Flee For All

Keeping Badge Company

It's so not cool to impersonate a police officer. It's even worse if the person you stop just happens to be a real cop. Robert Lane, 25, had flashing lights on his SUV and what appeared to be a police badge in his hand - but the other bloke was the genuine officer. Lane unwittingly pulled over the off-duty New York detective on a Long Island highway. The detective got suspicious when Lane drove up alongside him, identified himself as an officer and flashed a small police badge. After trying to flee, Lane was arrested on charges of criminal impersonation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
