The video posted below discusses a situation in the States. A motorcycle driver is stopped by plain clothed officer in an unmarked car for speeding (which the motorcycle driver admits). The man who accepted the ticket without complaint, posted the video on the internet and is now being charged and has the potential of going to jail for 5 years.
What if the people who video taped the Rodney King beating had been sent to jail? The police officers have a tough job but they have had the power of their word against average citizens for a long time and they do not like the shift in the odds. This stop was clearly done illegally to me. If I were confronted by a gun toting man in an unmarked car, I would not have known it was a police officer and I think that it violated every idea of a legal stop. (the whole motorcycle ride with the stop at the end is posted below from youtube but it has no sound).
