How do you know if its a fake cop?
If your instincts tell you that something is seriously wrong, lock your doors and call 911 if you have a phone. They can connect you to the police in that area to check their status. If you don't have a phone, sit tight. If two police cars arrive then it should be legitimate.
Do cops like writing tickets?
Most officers observe violations, write tickets based on what they see, and testify in court if asked to do so. There is no personal motive for them. They take no special satisfaction in writing the tickets, testifying, or getting convictions.
Is a citation bad for your record?
