Absolutely incorrect information. This has happened to me in the past. I kept on driving and went right to the police station. I pulled into Toronto 23 division and the person following me kept on going.
You can only be pulled over by a "police" officer if you are in a regular vehicle. This changes if you are in a commercial vehicle either way the person pulling you over must identify themselves and show you photo I.D.
Power of police officer to stop vehicle
