If the suspect did so, they would have been able to capitalize on surprise / shock, confusion, and possible trust when the constable may have mistaken the fake cruiser and suspect in uniform for one of her colleagues.

"On the afternoon of April 20, Chief Superintendent Leather said there were 16 crime scenes, including five structure fires, over a distance of at least 50 kilometres (31 mi). He said he expected the death toll to rise as these crime scenes are investigated.[27]Leather noted that Wortman's use of a police cruiser and wearing a police uniform allowed him to help evade detection for a long time. Owning police vehicles or uniforms is not a crime, but impersonating a police officer is.[40][41] Leather also said that Wortman had no licence to own guns and that his weapons were illegally purchased, which will be investigated further."
267 in 2017, 223 in 2016. That's an increase of 19%Quote:
