I grew up in VA, and this was the incident that lead to me eventually carrying:
"As of September 2010, the killer has not yet been identified. Investigators have speculated that the suspect might be a law enforcement officer, someone impersonating one, or perhaps a rogue operative from the Central Intelligence Agency, which has a training facility nearby at Camp Peary in York County. Other investigators believe the killings were committed by more than one person working as a team."

This was our version of "makeout point." There is no shame in confirming that it is an LEO before pulling over.

Re: Odd Police Encounter
Even though they have decriminalized it, this is exactly why there should be no requirement to display CHL when pulled over. Imagine this scenario, fake copy pulls you over, you turn over CHL and DL, he asks to hold the weapon during the stop, you turn over your weapon. Fake cop now has a gun.
IMHO, unless you are 100% sure it is a cop you should always call 911. If you are on a busy freeway/interstate you should always find a safe, bright, public place to pull over, even if that means you have to exit into a gas station, rest stop, etc. Unfortunately 3 of the last 6 of Fort Worth's finest were killed due to being struck by cars. It kills me when I see LEO's running radar from the median of a busy highway, and then waving people down onto the center shoulder.
