A man doing his best to impersonate a cop slipped up in the most embarrassing way, when he decided to pull over a motorist who turned out to be a real cop. It happened at 3:15 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, on Interstate 76 in Brighton, Colorado, northeast of Denver, according to the Brighton Police Department. The suspect's silver Dodge SUV not only had visor strobe lights, but sported stripes similar to those on unmarked patrol cars in some states, photos show. 'The ... vehicle initially attempted to stop an off-duty law enforcement officer driving their personal car by activating red and blue lights,' Brighton police said in a news release.
