Default Close call last night....

Driving home on a backroad. I see this guy standing at his mailbox on the side of the road. It seems weird that he is just standing there, as I get closer I relize he is holding a radar gun and he is in a blue uniform. It was such a strange place for him to be. It took me completely by surprise. When I get to the point where he is standing he walked out into the road puts his hand up like a stop sign and yells SLOW DOWN. I didn't slow down, I just looked over at him, still shocked that he was there taking radar. He stared right into my eyes and then started running towards his car. I decided the best thing to do was to speed up and get out of there, of course getting caught behing traffic and a red light didn't help. I don't know if he gave chase or not, but as soon as the light turned green I was gone. Never to be seen again.

Default That probably wasn't even a cop but a private citizen trying to act like one

A cop wouldn't walk out palm up and then yell "slow down".

Default I was thinking that too, except for the two unmarked cars in the driveway, but

it is weird that they would use a driveway. I didn't think they could.
