Police Impersonator Stops Off-Duty Trooper
<snip>

CLARKSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) -- Mistake No. 1: Impersonating a police officer.

Mistake No. 2: Making a traffic stop.

Mistake No. 3: Stopping an off-duty state trooper.

Shalom Gelbman, 22, of New Square, N.Y., made all three mistakes, state police said.

Gelbman, with a strobe light on his dashboard and his high beams flashing, allegedly pulled a car over Wednesday night on the Palisades Interstate Parkway, police said. Inside the car was state Trooper Seamus Lyons, who arrested Gelbman.

1. LMAO!
Got more than he bargained for with that "traffic stop" :-)

Glad this trooper got him off the streets before he hurt someone while impersonating an officer ...

:hi:

7. They call themselves journalists
I wanna know what the impersonator was pulling him over for. Was the trooper speeding, did he fail to come to a complete stop or did he fail to signal before changing lanes?

Dammit, I wanna know!

10. Just noticed something weird... This kid is from New Square...
Isn't that one of those ultra-Orthodox Jewish settlements up there? Maybe he had been deputized by the Lord.
