Fake Police Officer Arrested After Pulling Over a Real One

A Virginia man pretending to be a police officer pulled over an actual police officer. What happened next will in no way surprise you.

A police officer responded to a call yesterday about a suspicious vehicle when he saw a vehicle following him. The driver of that car turned a spotlight on and the officer believed it was a cop, so he pulled over.

Shawn Robinson then reportedly pulled over behind him and, according to the police report, “attempted to make contact” without getting out of his car. The officer informed him he was an actual police officer, at which point the other car took off.

They managed to follow Robinson and obtained a warrant for his arrest. He later turned himself in to the police.
