I live in this town. This guy sits at the gas station and acts like a cop on patrol all the time. glad they caught him.

I love this cop, instead of jumping to conclusions he google searched the law to make sure he was doing his job correctly. Good job officer

[Bgarza]

I spent almost two full years impersonating a deputy sheriff, I carried a gun and a badge, tracked suspects, and investigated many crimes. I never had any issues from police, and the community was nothing but happy when they saw me.



Then I turned 8 and decided to become an astronaut.

Imagine a police impersonator being pulled over by another impersonator.

[ProudBBlue]

He claims it's his company but then asks the chief to contact his supervisor. How does he have a supervisor if it's his company? He is 100% beyond the shadow of any doubt impersonating a police officer.

The officer that generated the ticket was thorough, and waaaay more than fair. Respect to you sir.

[XrpAndy]

Nothing like a full uniform with a gold watch

[tonypitsacota]

He's got a sophisticated setup. I wonder how many people he's pulled over, and how many "tickets", "warnings", "arrests" he's done? Very concerning.

[concepcionmelendez]

Although he owns the company, it must be a franchise, as he still had to call his supervisor Jeremy Dewitte for advice

[comiskey]

He’s clearly playing cop. He runs his business “respectfully, ” yet abuses the use of flashing lights to beat traffic. I’m fairly certain that wasn’t the first time.

I loved how the fake cop threw his lights on when getting pulled over 😂

[Isabella-nhdm]

These people scare the crap out of me. I fear that people will get pulled over by one of them and end up in serious, life threatening, circumstances. Behaviour like this puts all of us at risk of kidnapping, sexual abuse, murders. The potential for harm is frightening. I wish the Courts would view this as a far more serious issue than they do.

My wife and I just watched this video. That police chief was spot on. Hats off to that chief and we wish all municipal police chief’s were that involved.

[NewsFreak]

When the officer said: "this feels like kinda of a scenario on tv" I was pretty sure he saw something about Dewitte on TV

[kimcwhite]

What??? This guy is flexing his power to the Chief when he should be humble. Who gets pulled over and turns on flashing emergency lights? Just another wannabe cop...ugh🙄

[etherraichu]

I do appreciate how this cop is going out of his way to find out whether or not whats going on is legal.

[seaystacey]

he's not impersonating an officer hes impersonating Jeremy DeWitt

[jimmarshall]

I'll bet you 10 bucks he has a siren on the vehicle as well. He said it's his company and his personal car, yet he has a boss and "doesn't want to be grounded". Isn't grounded what you get when you don't get home by the time you told your parents you would be there?

[toddewing]

I never thought I'd say this, but...We need more intelligent cops like this.

[RetroKid]

I respect how hesitant that cop is to throw the book at the offender. I like how he didn't want to get him for speeding because he was unsure if they could get him. I also respect that he acknowledges that the permits are illegal and that he admits he is unsure of what colors constitute the allowance for lights. It's nice to see them Express uncertainty and be honest as opposed to being control freaks
