So, what happens when the police mistake you for an escaped convict? So, you say this could never happen to you, and it may not ever happen to you, but it does happen on occasion. You might be involved in a felony stop if they mistaken you for the wrong person. They're going to pull you over with multiple cars on the scene. One guy's going to get on the microphone PA, and he's going to start shouting commands at you. Just listen to the commands, follow their lawful orders, don't be furtively moving around the car, don't be looking for things like your registration and your insurance before they've even asked you for them. If they tell you to throw the keys out the window, you know you're on a felony stop. Throw the keys out the window, and just follow their lawful commands. It'll be over, they'll figure out their mistake eventually. Don't get worked up about it, just be calm and confident.
