Many cities have serious problems, if someone from a police impersonator had pulled over. To protect yourself if someone tries to pull you over, and he is not driving a marked police vehicle, you should trust your instincts and do the following safety suggestions:

If you are not sure whether the person you prevent a police officer, stay in your vehicle. Keep the doors locked. Roll down your windowa crack, and ask for the person to see your identification. Most police departments have question cards, their officers that the officer is the picture on them.
If it is night and its dark, ask the officer to follow you on a well-lit area. Police want you to feel secure when they stop you, and should not be a problem following you somewhere with better lighting.
If you are not yet convinced the officer is real, ask him to have marked a police officer in uniform in aPatrol car come to your location. Police departments generally do not have officers in unmarked civilian cars routine traffic stops. If they would have to stop, a marked patrol car is usually close behind.
At any point call 911 from your mobile phone to check this is really a policeman preventing you.
