I have received a report from a Spanish resident that Spain is experiencing increased crime attributed to the high unemployment situation. In particular motorhomes are being targetted by fake police who dress to look like them and flag you down.
Perhaps some of our Spanish members can add or pour scorn on this but my question is what is the best way to recognise a real Spanish policeman and should one definitely stop if you are flagged down by what looks like the police? I have it in the back of my mind that one should not stop but drive straight to the nearest police station! Quite where I have read or heard this I do not know but what woud be the reaction if they are genuine?
