 side of the road while he awaited      
roadside assistance at approximately #c

broken down4  7#c7 ,while ,mr4 ,jones   
awaited roadside assistance1 he was     
approached by a law enforcement officer 
driving an unmarked van and dressed in  
plainclothes4  7#d7 ,mr4 ,jones would   
not have had any reasonable reason to   
believe that the person in plainclothes 
driving the unmarked vehicle was a law  
enforcement officer4  7#e7 ,any         
confusion as to the nature of the law   
enforcement officer's interaction with  
,mr4 ,jones could likely have been      
avoided had a uniformed officer in a    
marked vehicle been called to the scene4
  7#f7 ,tragic incidents like the death 
of ,mr4 ,jones can easily be avoided by 
prohibiting law enforcement officers in 
plainclothes or law enforcement officers
 in plainclothes and unmarked vehicles  
from engaging in routine traffic stops4
