“No, ma’am, we’re musicians.”
There were flashing lights atop his SUV and what appeared to be a police badge in his hand, but it was the man he tried to pull over who was the real police detective.
Robert Lane, 25, was arrested Tuesday on charges of criminal impersonation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, Suffolk County police said.
Lane was driving an SUV fitted with flashing lights when he tried to stop the off-duty New York police detective on a highway on Long Island, Suffolk police said. They said Lane told investigators the detective had cut him off.
The detective got suspicious when Lane drove up alongside him, identified himself as an officer and flashed a small police badge, Suffolk police said.
The detective showed his own police ID and ordered Lane to pull over, then followed him when he didn’t and called in local police to arrest him, authorities said.
Alleged fake cop Robert Lane
Flasing Lights (police type, or construction type?) and a fake badge?
I hope they open up a can of Guantanemo Whoop Ass and find out what this flake has been doing with that setup. ((and I hope nothing, but how could that be?))
If no proof of anything additionally nefarious, dope should get a few years in jail. While non-violent, it goes to the heart of a civil society and a “message” needs to be sent out this is surely a no-no. Let some dope-dealers out of jail to make room for him.
1 – Maybe, but I’d say let some dope users out to make room, not dealers.It’s the users who are the most victimized by the officially maintained black market money machine.
It’d be interesting if they found out this guy had been using his little badge and lights costume to go around hijacking street-corner black market players. He could face an interesting time in jail.
funniest comment ever,
Would have love to see the face of this guy when that detective flashed his badge LOL!!!!
Blues Brothers: Best movie ever.
#3- I’m with you. Can you imagine what may have been going on in this guys head as he kept driving knowing what had just happened and that there is a real cop behind him?
Oh SH*T! (heart pounding) What have I done? What did I get myself into?
Ha, ha, ha. I love it. This twerp is squirming. The best part is his face gets plastered all over the country/world. His parents must be proud.
THAT’s not Robert Lane – it’s John Malkovich!
Gives a whole new perspective to stupid.
So how is this jerkoff different from the fudge packer that he pulled over? I guess police don’t like competition…
