Fake police officer used blue lights to pull over stranger for 'bad driving' - Liverpool Echo

A court heard Richard Moriarty used blue lights to pull over the driver over because he didn't agree with his driving.

A man who pretended to be a police officer and used blue lights to pull over another driver has walked free.

Colin Rawson, defending at today’s sentencing hearing, said Moriarty had acted in the moment but now recognised that the use of the blue lights alone was a crime.

Mr Rawson said: “He fully accepts that in that moment he has used those lights to pull over the car and give them a warning.

Mr Rawson also appealed to the judge to spare Moriarty a driving ban despite his actions during the police stop
