Nope - I don't remember the last time I heard of this ACTUALLY HAPPENING.  I have read where people didn't want to pull over because they feared this, only to discover that the unmarked car was driven by a real cop.  Whether it happens or not, it's highly disingenuous of city council members to cite this as a reason for their ordinance.

I can't get the link to do anything and I suspect it is due to an Apple illiteracy issue on my part.  Regardless, I'm sure that it does happen.  I just don't recall it very much, but I'll do some searching.

Mulroy has not indicated that keeping people in jail is a priority.  If fact, he seems more worried about unemployed criminals having a low enough bond so they can get out the same day they are arrested for some felony.    

I agree

In a non-snarky and serious manner, let me say that it does happen quite a bit. It’s a legitimate concern and all of my cop buddies (yes I actually have a few on multiple departments including MPD) say that impersonations are a significant problem in Memphis. From folks being pulled over to home invasions. I literally just asked them to confirm before this post. 
 

That said, they all agree that Mulroy is a HUUUUUGE problem.

He's just doing what he said he would do.  Now the people who rolled their eyes are bitching.

Agreed, but as I said before, Weirich needed to go. Maybe now that folks are seeing just how bad it was inevitably going to get with an activist like Mulroy, maybe a proper reorientation can occur. 
 

As another friend of mine said, “if the courts are trash, policing is futile.”

7.5 more years of Mulroy and it won’t matter.
