They're investigating a suspected policeman; he's not from the municipality, they say

In Tlalnepantla, Mexico, authorities launched an investigation to determine which police force the alleged officer belongs to after attempting to stop a driver with a tourist permit on Periférico Norte. The subdirector of Traffic and Road Safety, Salvador Castillo, confirmed that the individual was not a municipal police officer, noting that the municipality does not employ officers riding 'chopper' type motorcycles or wearing the distinctive uniforms associated with such units. He emphasized that local officers wear white shirts with orange trim and carry handheld devices. The incident highlights potential issues with unauthorized personnel impersonating law enforcement.
