The habit gets a new name.
Impersonating a police officer is a serious offense, but it’s also a weirdly common trend. In Florida, a man got arrested for trying to pull over an undercover police vehicle. He had all the gear, including a pistol and an emergency light setup. But, you know, it’s not like he actually was a cop or anything. This isn’t the first time this has happened, either. Just last month, a guy in Maryland got busted for the same thing.
