If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You have to stop for a law enforcement officer. In some jurisdictions you can call a certain number on your cell phone to verify that an unmarked vehicle is a police officer, but you have no right to ignore a marked car.

Re: Traffic stop

Failure to stop could result in a charge of fleeing and eluding a police officer.
