The fake police are out again. On another forum a motorhomer was robbed of cash by the "fake" police earlier. Stopped and told they were checking passports and looking for fake money.

    Never stop unless you are 100% sure they are actually police, keep going to a service area. Better to have to try and explain you were unhappy about stopping rather than being mugged, that applies in the UK as well!

    Just as a matter of interest - which 'other forum' was this on?

    All police cars in Spain will have markings, even "unmarked cars": blue lights in the grills, the passenger visor will be replaced by an electronic sign which can be read in a rear view mirror and there will be a similar sign in the rear window.  The officers
    will wear hi-viz uniforms.  If in doubt phone 062 and check the registration number.  More info

    here    .

    They now know that as that is what they've been told by the "real"police.
