No, this wasn't Florida. Pennsylvania. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/02/pennsylvania-man-fake-dui-checkpoint_n_7494486.html)
QuoteSOMERSET, Pa. (AP) — Police say a man who set up a drunken-driving checkpoint complete with road flares while pretending to be a Pennsylvania state trooper was drunk.
Troopers say 19-year-old Logan Shaulis, of Somerset, parked his vehicle diagonally across state Route 601 and set up road flares at about 4 a.m. Saturday.
A motorist who stopped says Shaulis claimed he was a trooper and demanded to see a driver's license, registration and insurance papers.
When real troopers arrived, police say Shaulis tried to hand a BB pistol to the car's passenger and said, "I can't get caught with this."
