What should I do if am being pulled over by an unmarked vehicle and am not certain if it's a Metro police officer?
Feel free to activate your vehicle's four-way hazard lights. Drive safely to the nearest public area or police station. Keep your doors locked and turn on your dome light, keep your hands visible and wait on the officer to approach. Look for an authentic law enforcement uniform. Only roll down the vehicle window enough to hear the officer and pass documents.
