I think it should be illegal for a plainclothes officer in an unmarked car to pull for traffic stops. There is no way to tell if he is real.

I was pulled over when I was 17 or 18 by an unmarked car. The officer lost his shit on me because he had been following me for almost a mile through the town streets and finally managed to get beside me and force me to the curb. I was not running from him and was going very close to the speed limit, maybe slightly over.
My defence for not pulling over was that he was driving about a 10 or 12 year Chevy Nova that was all body fill and primer ( thank you Nova Scotia winters) and he had no emergency lights on. I could hear a siren but I had no idea where it was coming from despite looking for it. He gave me a ticket for running a stop sign at an intersection that I hadn't even gone through. That pissed me off but what can a young'n do in that situation? It'd be my word against his.
