These thoughts came from my wife.
She stated: "how many times I was growing up have I heard of Rapists and Murders dressing up like cops and stopping women? To this day I don't trust any cop car ...How easily can cars be turned into "official" looking cars. Anyone can get uniform and badges if they really wanted too. I would have "argued" about getting out of the car as well.
As for why he stopped her is crap. I've seen cops change lanes without signaling all the time."

I bet everyone can personally relate many instances like this. Police officers, though, are no different than any other drivers. I probably see drivers not signal lane changes every single day I drive.

Even though the city settled with the victims, he was never held accountable by the Orange County DA and he went on to become a fitness coach to women where he can grope and fondle as many women as he pleases and no one is aware.
