Lance Bombardier Aydn Walster , 22 , impersonated a police officer by pulling motorists over using flashing lights he bought on eBay . A soldier impersonated a police officer by using flashing lights he bought on eBay to pull motorists over and tell them their driving 'was not up to standard ' . Lance Bombardier Aydn Walster , 22 , pulled over unsuspecting drivers he thought were driving poorly before taking down their personal details in a notebook . The soldier even asked drivers to get back into the back of his Saab 9-3 saloon car to give them a telling off . Walster appeared at Lincoln Magistrates ' Court yesterday where his defence solicitor admitted the serviceman had been a 'bloody fool ' . He pleaded guilty to three counts of impersonating a police officer and two charges of using a car fitted with a blue flashing warning light . Walster , from Lincoln , was fined £835 , ordered to pay costs of £85 , and a victim surcharge of £84 . The soldier , who has served in Afghanistan , now faces being kicked out of the Army as a result of his criminal conviction . The court heard Walster bought the blue flashing lights on eBay before putting them on the dashboard of his car and pulling over fellow soldiers at his barracks as a prank . But he then took the joke 'too far ' by going on to public roads in Lincoln and stopping three members of the public between November last year and January . The soldier pulled over motorists who he thought were driving poorly before telling them they had been breaking the speed limit . Walster was caught when on January 22 he pulled over a car at Lindis Retail Park before taking their personal details . But a friend driving behind became suspicious and reported the incident to the police . Prosecutor Iola Harris said : 'On each occasion , it seems to be that he believed the manner of driving was not up to standard . ' Walster pulled a motorist over using the flashing blue light as they passed by Lindis Retail Park ( pictured ) in Lincoln . Ms Harris added : ' A motorist was followed on Tritton Road by a car with a flashing blue light . The defendant asked him to sit in the back of his car and he was asked questions . 'As a result of the investigation , the defendant was arrested and in his vehicle was a notebook containing personal details . 'He accepted that book belonged to him and he did take names and addresses of members of the public . ' While being interviewed by police , Walster admitted he had impersonated a police officer on another occasion . His defence lawyer told the court that being arrested had been more terrifying for Walster than his tour of Afghanistan . Dave Clapham , defending , said : 'In essence , what he says is that the lights were bought off eBay and used to stop his mates on the barracks as a joke . 'For whatever reason this continued into the public arena . He does not know why . He just says he has been a bloody fool and completely stupid . The soldier even asked drivers to get back into the back of his car to give them a telling off , Lincoln Magistrates ' Court ( pictured ) heard . 'He tells me the process of being arrested was more terrifying than his tour of Afghanistan . 'The consequences of your sentence have ramifications that could go far higher . Not only could he be overlooked for promotions bonuses , he could face a reduction in rank - ultimately it could lead to his discharge . He is a good soldier . ' After the case , PC Robert McGhee , from Lincolnshire Police , said : 'Offences of this type are really very serious . 'Police officers are trained to the highest of standards and the job they carry out every day requires not only application of that training but a thorough knowledge of the law , as well as practice and procedure . Impersonating an officer carries hefty penalties for good reason . 'We are pleased with the outcome of the court case as it is a fitting sentence . We hope this serves as a stark warning to not only the gentleman involved but also to others that police and the courts take a very dim view of anyone acting in this fashion . ' An Army spokesperson said : 'All those who are found to fall short of the Army 's high standards are dealt with as appropriate through the discipline process , up to and including discharge . '
