If a guy with a badge attempted to have me exit my car and his ride was a female waiting in another unmarked vehicle without lights or extra antennas...he better have some official ID with that badge.

Oh wait a minute, the badge says Conceal Weapons Permit...

This dirtbag WILL get caught, and hopefully he'll approach a real cop.

None of this gave them a hint??

On that note, probably meth-related.

A badge is not ID. You can always ask the alleged officer to see his/her ID.

Now if they arrive in a police cruiser and uniform... well, ya might just skip that question.

Nah, that just made them think it was a super secret agent in disguise. Bond can make himself look like anyone.
