A guy in my hometown did this and would pull people over for speeding. He didn’t give out any “tickets” but instead just harass them. The dipshit pulled over the real chief of police and things didn’t go so well for him after that. He got a few years in prison for the whole thing.

If you’ve got such a hard-on on being a police officer, why wouldn’t you, you k ow, join police force, instead of doing exactly the opposite of what you police supposed to be doing?

I watched a video on YouTube the other night of an old man carrying a fake badge and a bb gun. He claimed to be a federal marshal and was arrested at a best buy. He claimed to not know it was illegal let alone a major felony

I am surprised they let him keep the firearms on him as long a they did even though they were suspicious he was not a real cop.

I actually watched this video yesterday (the whole video, over on Real World Police's channel). I kind of felt bad for the guy as it seems like he is legit just trying to do a job he was hired for. The main officer is also on the fence about whether or not he wants to take the guy in to jail or not.

But, by the end of the video, the guy being arrested is clearly in the wrong. So many lies they catch him in. Plus the fake badge? He deserves it.

Wonder if the police would have been so polite if he were a bit darker...
