Police: Driver arrested after he pulls over detective on LI

BOHEMIA, N.Y. (AP) _ A driver posing as a police officer tried to pull off a bogus traffic stop, but he ran into trouble when the other motorist turned out to be a real off-duty detective, police said.

Robert Lane, 25, was to be arraigned Wednesday after being arrested on charges of criminal impersonation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, Suffolk County police said.

Driving an SUV fitted out with flashing lights, Lane stopped the New York police detective on the Sunrise Highway on Tuesday afternoon, Suffolk police said. They said Lane told investigators the detective had cut him off.

The detective became suspicious after 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, told Lane to pull over, followed him when he didn't and called authorities, according to police. The detective's name was not released.

No telephone number for Lane could be found at the Levittown address police gave for him, and police were unsure whether he had a lawyer.

What a maroon.

Still, there is a lot of crooks out ther in NYC flashing badges and pretending to be cops so they can rip people off.
It's no wonder that many undercover cops are fired uopn when they flash thier badges - people think they're going to rob them.

haa what an Idiot! this actaully reminds of a story I heard from someone. There was this rapist on the loose a couple of years ago and he would break into other peoples houses and rape other women. Well the idiot rapist breaks into someones house and attempts to rape but it turns out a police officer lived in the house and fired right at the guy! People are really doing stupid things these days.

That fool is a real dumbell with a capital D. Enjoy your upcoming jail sentence, sucker-no one feels sorry for you at all. He should be on the list of the world's dumbest criminals.
