Sounds like it was a robbery. One of the perps knew the victim, and had been under his employment in the past. The victim runs one of those cash checking places, which always have loads of cash....

Synopsis:
Two men driving an out of state car with red and blues, wearing shirts that say "police" pull this guy in his driveway.
They "arrest" him for not using a turn signal.
Alert HPD officer sees out of state plates on unmarked car and stops to investigate.
"Police" are impersonators, and are taken into custody.



Lessons?
You have a brain, use it. Whens the last time you were cuffed for a minor traffic infraction?
Pulled over by an unmarked, and officers not in uniform? Demand that a marked car be dispatched. Call 911 if necessary.
I have the utmost respect for most LEO's. But, sadly, working out of uniform and "no knocks" have led to a whole new rash of crimes. That puts us, the citizen, in a bad spot. People are being victimized and even killed because they are too trusting, and that the mere word "police" means that someone is actually a good guy.
Food for thought.
