There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

  1. Retired sheriff who still wears his Sheriff embroidered knit cap all winter everywhere he goes;

  2. a former Sheriff who was fired, still has his knit cap and wears it around everywhere he goes;

  3. someone who was never a sheriff and never in law enforcement in any capacity whatsoever who found a sheriff knit cap and wears it around everywhere he goes

Which of those three scenarios might qualify as "Impersonating a Police Officer?" Any or all of the above?

Doesn’t this boil down to “does wearing a knit cap with sheriff on it constitute impersonation of an officer”?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 0 points 11 months ago

Yes but I worded it the way I did because there is a person I have encountered who wears a sheriff's knit cap and I was in a period of uncertainty whether he was retired or fired or just a poseur. I have decided he's a poseur. Super creepy man kinda impersonating law enforcement on top of at least three other creepy things he's doing and I've only had 3 brief encounters with him.
