I have been on that stretch of highway many times. Scary to think about. I have family and friends in that area. They drive that freeway.

The mass mind game is definitely the most messed up part. What do you do? Run every time you're about to be pulled over and if more units start showing up then you know it's a legit stop? Because I don't think the advice in the bottom paragraph is sufficient:

Authorities are asking citizens to be careful if they are pulled over and feel uneasy. They advise drivers to call 911 and verify that a legitimate officer is pulling them over or drive to a well-lit, crowded place before stopping, actions permitted under Mississippi state law.

Because, you know, I don't think anybody feels normal getting pulled over.

Although they are totally speculating about the impersonation of a police officer. I think the better guess would be just a normal bright light flash to get them to pull over. We used to prank people all the time doing that when I was younger.

Possibly.

Edit: I would have undercover patrol officers drive that road and see if they get "pulled over" if they do call in backup immediatly as they are being pulled over. Then bust the person.

Great. I'd love to see you pulling it on an police officer when you're being pulled over and then explain you felt afraid he might be fake.

I do not think he meant it for this scenario so much as you never know what the nutjobs are going to do. I am highly in favor of CC

I'm honestly somewhat nervous to drive across the country somewhere randomly in the south and accidentally land in some kind of hitler or kkk town. Posing as an officer is just messed up, just drive around 5 mph until you get into a lighted or public area. Real cops will probably call for backup before trying to swipe you. If the police get pissed, then you can fight it out in court if you know this story. That's the only solution I can think of.
