It should be rare that a fake police officer gets into a real civil investigator of all things.
However, that is exactly what happened to a man in Braunschweig.
He was in an olive uniform with a police badge and a blank gun in his belt holster.

The 25-year-old also drove a vehicle equipped with blue lights and checked people.
The man noticed witnesses who informed the police.
The officers were initially unable to find their supposed colleagues on site.
Until a civil investigator with the words “Stop!
Stop! ”Was asked to stop and illuminated with a flashlight, as the police announced.
The wrong policeman was found out.
The Braunschweig residents are now expecting criminal charges for presumption of authority and forgery of documents.
