The viral video of the "fake teen cop" brought to light a serious question of how tell if your being stopped by a real Officer. The Bernalillo County Sheriffs Department in New Mexico walked us through the basic steps of a simple "routine" traffic stop and how to react if you think your being stopped by a "fake cop". We reached out to both the Albuquerque Police Department and Bernalillo Sheriffs Department and they advised us that if you feel the person stopping you is not legitimate then to call their non emergency numbers of 505-242-COPS or 505-798-7000. If you feel you are in immediate danger then agencies advise to use the EMERGENCY line of 911, but ONLY in extreme cases.
