Fake police?!
I had a similar incident going through Madrid.
An unmarked 'police car' pulled along side me whilst driving the motorway through Madrid.
The passenger of the car flashed a police badge at me through the window and ordered me to pull off the motor way at the next exit.
Thinking the situation to be unusual I ignored the demand and the 'police car' buggered off. Had they been legit they would not have just left me to carry on without responding to their orders.
If you experience a similar request, be very suspicious. Overlanders traveling south through europe are known to be carrying cash and expensive gear. Consequently we are increasingly targets for cons.
Cheers
John
