Well where is the fun in that?
This became an issue some time back when OCPD was working under a federal grant for traffic enforcement and safety. (RAID) They were in unmarked cars which had to have lights installed in compliance with Title 47.
When the program started, the officers were operating in plain clothes and caused some confusion and problems. A state legislator was stopped one day and he didn't like the program and how it was done. Shortly after that the law was amended and even though the cars remain unmarked, the officers now have to wear uniforms.

How do you know the tinted flashing car behind you contains a uniformed officer?
Beats advice from you or me
You're half right.
When you see the officer get out of the car in your rear view mirror no uniform drive away and call 911.
At night, you can't see anything in the rear view mirrors due to the spot light...........or see which side they're approaching your vehicle from.
I've told my wife that if this happens, put un her 4 way flashers to acknowledge to the "officer" that she sees him/her and then call 911 and report it while progressing to the police station, or nearest fire station...tell 911 where you are going.
If that gets her in trouble, we'll deal with it...but she WILL NOT stop for any unmarked car where it's not totally safe.

I suggest pulling into a public area that's well lit. If you just keep going, your going to be in a pursuit, and only bad things can happen. I'd call 911, and inform them were you are, and what's happening. Also if the officer is not in a formal uniform, ask for his CLEET card, commission card, and badge. If he doesn't have all 3 on him, he's not a LEO.
Most instances of people Impersonating police are going to occurs in very remote areas, with few people around.
