Can a CSI van pull me over?
Discussion
Today a Crime Scene Invesigation van went across a roundabout in front of me and headed off the way I was going, I followed it and was perfectly happy just sat behind it as it was making progress at about the speed limit.
Whilst sat behind it a bit bored I was wondering - if I did something that warranted me being pulled over (blasting past it at way over the speed limit for exmaple), are they allowed to pull me over? I didn't see any blue lights on it, but it was all hi-vis'd up and had POLICE written in big letters on the back.
Just curious really.

Generally no, mostly they are civilians although there are some police officer CSIs and those would be wearing CSI clobber not a police uniform
and the vans they use don't have blue lights.
If a CSI van happened to be driven by a police officer CSI and they caught your attention somehow and you were to stop then they could speak to you about the matter. Really can't see it happening though unless someone was driving like a complete arse. More likely to follow you and call it in over the radio.
