Pretend Police
If you're a member of some quasi-militia, let's-pretend-to-be-policemen organization, you might not want to draw a lot of public attention to yourself.
A man who had just complained to the Marion County Quorum Court about road conditions in his neighborhood was escorted from the meeting room Tuesday night and arrested on a charge of impersonating a police officer.
....
An arrest affidavit filed in support of the charge said Bourg presented a phony law enforcement identification card during a traffic stop last month. The card was issued by the United States Constitution Rangers, a New Hampshire-based organization headed by Ed Brown.
Funny, real policemen aren't too impressed with stunts like this, especially from members of a group who allegedly believe "conspirators have subverted the legitimate U. S. government and replaced it with an illegitimate one".
Wonder who the 'conspirators' are? Must be those damn radical Presbyterians again. Or the even more dangerous Unitarians.
Good thing we have people like this keeping us safe.
