OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland police say a man impersonating a police officer tried to pull over a real undercover officer and was arrested.

Police say 21-year-old Antonio Fernandez Martinez of Oakland was arrested Wednesday in the Fruitvale district after trying to pull over an unmarked police vehicle. Martinez was driving a Ford Crown Victoria outfitted with flashing lights, a microphone and speakers.

Martinez, a convicted car thief, will have his felony probation revoked and could face a prison term.

The officer, Jim Beere, says Martinez probably thought he'd be an easy mark to rob.

We had a similar incident to the impersonation attempt last week. Idiot tried to act like he was flashing a badge to an off duty state trooper. The state trooper pulled over, the idiot flew pat him laughing. The officer called HQ and reported it and followed the guy till he was pulled over and arrested. He was drunk to top it off.
