New Jersey issues guidance for drivers regarding unmarked vehicles

New Jersey officials have issued guidance for drivers regarding interactions with unmarked vehicles to address concerns about potential police impersonation.

Drivers are advised not to assume an unmarked car is fraudulent, nor should they attempt to flee the scene. Official guidance suggests pulling over in a safe location as soon as possible when signaled by police.

If a driver feels unsafe or suspects a scam, they should remain calm and call 911 to ask the dispatcher to verify the legitimacy of the stop. Drivers should communicate their intent to move to a well-lit or safer location rather than speeding away, and once stopped, they should keep their hands visible and follow instructions.
