Could/may/might have

I was driving a car with my friend. I saw a guyblooming for a lift in the way but I did care about him. After I passed him I told my friend,"he could/might/may have been a cop. Is this sentence correct? Meaning we don't know if he was a cop.

Those three modal verbs are all OK and virtually synonymous.
