Here's a couple of questions that may help to clear things up:
These police officers were 'undercover.'
What kind of uniforms were they wearing? If any at all? Did they turn their flashing lights on when they stopped?Did they show their badges if not in uniform? When the guy didn't stop, did he run, or just keep walking normally?
Kinda sounds like to me that all they did was announce themselves as police. Anyone could do that. Not many people would, but a pair of guys with a cruiser-type vehicle could pull off anything like that. Not a good idea, I doubt hardly anyone would do this,but still.
Also, what is the penalty for failing to stop for a uniformed police officer? How about an un-uniformed police officer? What about for an 'officer' that doesn't prove that he is an officer? What about the average joe?
Im asking seriously because I don't know,and I didn't look hard enoughfind the law online for my state, yet.
