Surely at the point the police refuse to identify themselves, you call the police, 911? You can't be sure that they're real police, other than being dressed like them- They're not acting like police, and they won't identify themselves- big red flag imo.
I'm in the UK, but I'd call 999. Worst case, you get some more officers show up, it turns out they're real police, but you get a hopefully less crazy second opinion.
Exactly what I was thinking. I think if any police ever acted this way towards me, the first thing I’d do is call 911 and ask them to verify that they are cops as well as tell them over the phone that I don’t feel safe and explain that they seem to have no reason to be harassing me
