When they entered Romney’s room, “and laid out on his bed was a Michigan State Trooper’s uniform.”
Apparently, Mr Romney had an interesting hobby while he was in college:
Said Madden in a recent interview, “He told us that he had gotten the uniform from his father,” George Romney, then the Governor of Michigan, whose security detail was staffed by uniformed troopers. “He told us that he was using it to pull over drivers on the road. He also had a red flashing light that he would attach to the top of his white Rambler.”
There’s an incident in The Real Romney that also involves Mr Romney posing as a police officer siren and all.
Romney had “put a siren on top of his car and chased two of his friends who were driving around with their dates.” The two friends were in on the scheme, but the girls were not. There was beer in the car trunk, according to a prearranged plan. Mitt told his two counterparts to get out of their vehicle and into his car. Then they drove off, leaving the girls behind.
and room left over for the police dog.
