Fake police car — Police in Oregon say a Washington man wove through interstate traffic at 80 mph with phony police lights flashing. In his passenger seat was his 12-year-old son. Marion County deputies didn’t recognize the 2009 Nissan Maxima as one of their own unmarked vehicles. And when the driver passed a marked police car, the lights went off. James Winfrey a 27-year-old from Vancouver, Wash., told police he was only using the lights to help him catch up to friends. Deputies say they found no evidence that Winfrey was attempting to pull over cars and falsely represent himself as a police officer. Winfrey was cited for disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment and traffic violations.
