I have the same concern as bbhack, but if a person isn't totally certain the LEO attempting a stop is possibly not legitimate and drives for many miles before stopping, all the while with the flashing light and siren blaring behind them and they (the LEO) turns out to be legitimate, I can see a possible nightmare scenario when finally stopping.

Getting pit maneuver stopped, or gawd knows what else might happen when the stop is finally made.

I can imagine a scenario of a drawn gun by the LEO, physically treated roughly, etc. or worse if the LEO is a lone, frightened or simply super nervous rookie with poor trigger discipline with firearm or taser...

So what to do if you don't carry a cell phone and if you do, how do you know the number to call to verify if the stop and officer are legitimate?

Ay, yi yi!

Over time, I've had many a personal friend who were/are in law enforcement.

In all the years of knowing them socially never, not once, did I ever hear any discussion of how they could entrap the average law abiding citizen.

Are there some bad ones?

Sure and you've got bad ones in every and all professions, but most are good, honest reliable people.

Re-read Oldgringo's advice.

I haven't been stopped by an LEO in 50 years of driving.

Obey traffic laws and the chance of being stopped isn't quite, but almost nil...
