??? WTF?? cite?

§ 18.2-174. Impersonating officer.

Any person who shall falsely assume or exercise the functions, powers, duties and privileges incident to the office of sheriff, police officer, marshal, or other peace officer, or who shall falsely assume or pretend to be any such officer, shall be deemed guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Only reason I know that, is there was a big deal when a guy got arrested for directing traffic around his broken down car.......

If you are going to dress like a hooker, don't be surprised if someone calls you one! after all if you going to advertise it, why get upset.

Simply, if you are going to wear a badge, don't get upset if someone calls you a Mall Ninja! If you are going to make up your car to resemble a police car then do not get upset when it draws attention after all isn't that what you are after? Yup!

Yeah but do you have a cite/link to the story about THAT?? Not that I doubt you I'd just like to read the details, and final outcome, for myself.

Negative... It was probably 10 yrs ago....

I vaguely remember it basically being a ******* match, the guy was a Volunteer FF or something, I wanna say.......
