Man impersonates police using iPhone
A 21-year-old dimwit from Idaho in the United States thought it’d be funny to pull over another car by impersonating police.
Forbes reports that local police charged the man with “unlawful exercise of the function of police” after he used an unidentified cell phone app, probably in an iPhone, that flashes blue and red to try to pull over another car. Unmarked police cars with hidden red-blue flashing lights are common in the States.
The motorist he was trying to pull over called the real police to report that someone who didn’t appear to be an officer tried to pull him over with a flashing blue and red light. The person said the car pulled in behind briefly and then drove away.
The motorist then followed the car and reported the mystery flasher to the police, and the iPhone-totting wannabe was found easily. Police found the software on the man’s phone that flashed blue and red lights, and arrested him.

It might be fun to pullover a car and say NYPD like in movies. But it won’t work here. 😛

some people ova here as well, mostly in sharjah, fix police sirens commonly called hooter…and impersonate police cars to get way from traffic during traffic jams.
i heard most of them were caught red handed, and recently i read in gulf news that police has ordered the shopkeepers not to sell it to anyone without any authorized document otherwise legal action will be taken against the seller…
