A wild video shows Florida state troopers force a car to a stop with high-risk immobilization techniques – but the suspect turns out to be a fellow cop who’s in pursuit.
The highway patrol received a report of a reckless driver speeding through Miami Gardens traffic on the night of Nov. 29 and dispatched Trooper Walner Wroy to the area, according to Local 10.
Wroy finally found the vehicle on the freeway — a Kia Stinger — and turned on his lights.
But the vehicle didn’t slow down or stop, continuing to blast through a red light after taking the exit.
Dash cam footage shows Wroy eventually making contact with the rear of the car, forcing it to spin out and stop directly in front of him, face down.
But the stopped driver — who turned out to be Opa-locka police captain Cory Krotenberg — then activated his flashing blue and red lights to identify him as law enforcement.
He then got out of the car and raised his hands in disbelief.

‘Are you f—— kidding me?” Krotenberg told the shocked soldiers.
“Oh, I got the wrong car,” he said. “I don’t see the light behind.”
After an investigation, officials said last week that Krotenberg was part of a multi-agency anti-gang operation and was pursuing suspects believed to have participated in violent crimes,
Krotenberg also has a helicopter flying overhead to help him track the suspect.

“It’s a dark car,” he told Wroy. “I’m really on his a-!”
“Oh God,” said the soldier in response.
Wroy, officials said, was not disciplined because he had reasonable grounds to blame the getaway car as a civilian.

“The Trooper had a well-founded and reasonable belief that a violator was fleeing and evading a lawful order to stop, and the Trooper performed his duties with professionalism and precision,” FHP Executive Director Dave Kerner told the outlet. “Police work is a demanding profession, and State Troopers are trained and trusted to make difficult decisions under the most challenging circumstances.”
Krotenberg’s agency told Local 10 that he did not violate any policy during either pursuit.
