I had a strange run in with Amtrak police once. My wife and I reserved a cabin car for a long trip from Oakland to Denver. After entering the cabin in Oakland there was a knock on our door. I opened the door and a man identified himself as Amtrak police and asked me if a bag he was holding was ours. He was dressed like a normal passenger, undercover. He had a badge which he briefly flashed and then immediately asked me if this bag was ours. He jammed himself into the door and showed the badge in such a way that I could not close the door, and his badge was not visible to people in the hallway. It wasn't and I had never seen it before, so we said no. He went away. Later he came back and asked the same question again. This time I was sick of him and told him to leave us alone, and that it wasn't our bag. He left us alone after that. Prior to this I had no idea Amtrak police even existed. The guy was a jerk and was clearly trying to get us to admit to owning this bag. I have no idea why, but but I do regret not getting a better look at his badge. It could have been some plastic kids badge for the amount of time he showed it to me.
