In what can only be described as the ultimate turning of the tables, a video has emerged of one clued-up Washington state citizen pulling over a policeman and issuing him with a warning for illegally patrolling in an unmarked vehicle.
Constitutional activist”, Gavin Seim, spotted the unmarked patrol car while driving in Grant County, Washington, last Saturday, and decided to question the officer inside on the legality of his actions.
Approaching the vehicle, Seim asks the officer, who is later identified as Deputy Canfield of the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, whether he is using the vehicle as part of registered undercover work, or whether it is being used for a patrol.
When the Deputy Canfield admits that he is using the vehicle for a patrol, Seim explains to Deputy Canfield that he is in fact breaking the law.
According to Washington state law, it is illegal for any non-state officer to carry out patrols in an unmarked vehicle and that any officer found carrying out an unmarked patrol could be arrested as a result.
