It’s scary how many people have these lights and they could pull you over to rob you or something worse.They need to make examples out of these people.Good job sir.

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



Then i turned 6 and decided to be a cowboy.

Thank God it was an off duty deputy, couldn't have pulled over a better wrong person. This could have potentially saved a civilian from getting pulled over by this guy, who knows what his intentions really were.

[kodaz]

Damn he sits near the steering wheel close af

[joep]

I think alot of people are unsure about what happened here and how it was handled. That's because it's absolutely lousy reporting and even worst editing. They should be ashamed of themselves.

When you clicked on this you thought the dude in the thumbnail was the fake cop 🚓 👮

[dwayneelizondomountaindewh]

if you get caught impersonating a peace officer you need to be placed on a watchlist like the sex offender registry

[kenziconte]

the lip percing is a dead give away that hes not a cop lol

[zachster]

You handled it the way you auggest citizens to handle it? Lol ok, let's see how well that goes for most people to just get out if the car weapon drawn and ask and receive identification assuming not everyone that pulls you over is a real cop or not

[unpredctable]

One more donut and he won't be able to turn the steering wheel

[Hear-MeoutTwo]

So this cop appear to be suggesting regular citizens pull their weapon and hold suspects at bay until cops arrive.

Cop should be ashamed of how out of shape he is!!

[Zone_Stomper]

From looking at the pic of the impersonator, he looks as though he could wrestle a box of donuts to the ground.

[CShivery]

I wonder if a fake cop has ever been arrested by a fake cop for impersonating a cop.

[OHGEEBABYGEE]

How can you drive with your stomach on the steering wheel?

[evanmreid]

this dude needs ti shed some serious weight..

[andrewg]

the narration and this story is a HUGE thumbs down... no dashcam, no conflict whatsoever, poor storytelling, no details, and some weird comment at the end of "i handled it the way citizens should handle it..." which makes no sense whatsoever because hes a cop and citizens cant do what he does.

[halmartin]

Handled it the way you expect citizens to handle it. So.... pull a gun on a guy that you may think is not a cop?

[miashooter]

This very dangerous, its terrifying that someone can do this and sexual assault someone

[jesserenteria]

I would've loved to have seen the officer arrest that fake officer.
