How do you know they are cops?
By the way they act.
By the way they dress.
By their own confirmations.
By their responses to questions.
By them coming after me and taking photos.
By the way they methodologically film individuals.
By them getting into a car with someone wearing a badge.
From wikipedia:
Plainclothes Law Enforcement
"Undercover agents should not be confused with law enforcement agents who wear plainclothes. This method is used by police and intelligence agencies. To wear plainclothes is to wear "ordinary clothes", instead of wearing a uniform typically associated with the occupation, in order to avoid detection or identification as a member of law enforcement. Plainclothes police officers typically carry normal police equipment and identification. Police detectives are often assigned to wear plainclothes instead of the uniform typically worn by their peers. The principal difference is that undercover agents will often work under an assumed identity whereas plainclothes police will normally use their own identity."
