I think I would take that as a compliment. There certainly are worse things to be.
You sport a flattop? I do and I’ve had people say similar things to me.
I have a similar experience- at least half a dozen times people have thoguht I was undercover store security following them around- one lady even semi-cussed me out, telling me she isn’t a fucking thief, I’m wasting my time watching her, etc. Weird, so I can empathize.
The cop he is being mistaken for did undercover narc work. Maybe he looks like a crackhead. But it’s not polite to ask so I wouldn’t bring it up if I were you.
I actually had one guy go a bit further and explain that there is an actual narc officer hereabouts who, according to him, bears an uncanny physical resemblance to me. I guess I have a twin. I do have short hair, but I’m not particularly physically fit. I’m not a lump o’ lard, but I’d hardly say I’m all ripped.
I owned a 1968 Plymouth Fury I ex LA sheriff’s car. Painted ugly orange. I was on Pacific Coast Highway waiting to turn onto Topanga Cyn Blvd to head home. Seated right next to me (in the center part of the bench seat) is Anna the Swedish babe of my high school. Anna it should be mentioned could have been a member of the Swedish bikini team. Anna was still in her bikini as we had just left the beach.

About 6 weeks ago, we had a big forest fire in my county, and I was out directing traffic as part of the rescue squad. Mind you, I was dressed as a stereotypical EMT, and had an orange vest on that said “FIRE/RESCUE”…
One lady came up to my roadblock and got out her driver’s license to hand it to me.
The porn-stache I had going when my student ID photo got taken, along with my short haircut at the time makes me look quite copish. My little brother keeps trying to convince me to sign up for police academy. But I don’t think I have it in me to act that dominant when pulling someone over…
