What is the name of your state? Missouri
My brother has been a police officer in a small town for a few years. I told him I read some time ago that if a woman is traveling alone and an officer in an unmarked car tries to pull her over, she can drive slowly to a public area before she stops and can also ask the officer to call for an officer in an identifiable police car.He told me if I tried to do that, when I did stop I would be immediately handcuffed and taken to jail. Then he went on to tell me that his police station received a memo a while back stating that a woman was recently pulled over by a so-called policeman. She was taken to a desolate area and told to perform a sexual act on this "officer". When she reported this, there was no officer found suiting her description. My brother acted like this was something that could not be helped or prevented. I would like to know how to find the legal rights for a person on this problem. Not to discount my brother's knowledge, I would like to know if it is truly not legal in Missouri to drive to a safe place before stopping for someone who is not clearly identified as a true police officer.
