Under cover police cars- do you have to stop?

[Eggmundo]

We (the eggmundo family) had a big debate at the dinner table this evening on whether you have to stop for an under cover police car or not.
Mrs Eggmundo said she saw something on 'FACEBOOK' where someone didn't stop for an under cover police car and phoned the police (while she was driving;apparently on hands free so it was OK) and they said no, the under cover police car was in fact a RAPIST who had dreamt up this elaborate plan just to trap her. AND she didn't have to stop for an undercover police car..AS LONG as she made her way to the nearest police station when she was first signalled to pull over.

Well...@EDNA...do you have a legal obligation to stop for an under cover police car or can you IGNORE them and carry on as normal?

OH sages of NSC enlighten me.

That was something I always thought about, although anything can be made up and shared, nice to actually know if you can do that

 

[Cheshire Cat]

if its under cover, how would you know?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Has the Mrs got herself in a spot of bother

I'd see a solicitor if I were you , and not ask on NSC.

 

[Da Man Clay]

You have to stop.

Much like entering your pin backwards doesn't alert the police you're being mugged. I hate Facebook.

 

[Eggmundo]

They have blue flashing lights under the grill and a sign at the back that may say "I AM AN UNDER COVER POLICE CAR>>>NOT A RAPIST"

By extension why bother to stop for any officer? I could be a rapist dressed up in a uniform with a pimped up white mondeo?

A cunning double bluff.
It's unlikely to say ''I AM A RAPIST>>>NOT AN UNDERCOVER POLICE CAR''.

 

[Conkers]

I also remember being told that you don't HAVE to (legally speaking) although I imagine that it's frowned upon somewhat if you don't........

Hmmm...interesting.

According to the police, no you don't have to stop - only uniformed constables can make the stop:

Q587: What should I do ifÂ*there is an unmarkedÂ*police car travelling behind meÂ*flashing me to stop?

I havent clicked on your link but MOST of the time, the rozzers in the UNMARKED car will in fact be uniformed constables.

And there is a difference between an un-marked car and an undercover car.

Are you kind of saying there is a possibility that Edna may in fact be a rapist and not the officer of the law that we all think?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

A good friend is a woman rozzer, had this conversation last week with her, no, you do not have to stop.

It must be a marked police car, even stop signs in the back etc do not count as you can buy similar signs and put them in yourself.

Talking from experience are we?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

When I am out raping I usually take my own car and leave my patrol car and uniform at the nick.

I was stopped once (well, actually over the years I have been stopped more than once) by a marked car that had been called by the unmarked car to stop me, so I had presumed that they did not have the power to stop me.

My crime? Giving my son a driving lesson.

Were you swigging from a bottle of Smirnoff whilst instructing?
