Isn't impersonating a law enforcement officer a crime of some sort?

[REP]

Is it legal when your Daddy is the Governor? Is it just a cute, cute prank when a rich dipshit does it?

I know the GOP was low on warm bodies who can wear a suit in public, but did they know just how ... really unlikeable Rmoney is and just didn't care?

1. I wouldn't be surprised

If he still has it, or handed it down to one of his boys.

2. So is smoking pot and doing blow

But he got away with it and as the saying goes, It is not a crime if you get away with it.

4. I would think if that

Uniform was still around, it would be illegal to have. I'm not expecting him to get arrested. I do know if it were Obama, the mob would be lined up outside the WH with misspelled signs demanding an arrest. After GW's crimes, I'm sure this will blow over like the bullying.

3. Yep, nothing illegal Dumbya ever did stuck to him. nt

5. It was a crime at the time in both Michigan and California, which are the places Mitt lived

Except, we have no hard evidence that he ever actually impersonated a police officer. What we have are accounts that he possessed a uniform and claimed to have used it to impersonate an officer. But one thing about kids that age . . . they frequently tell tall tales to make themselves look like badasses.

One irony here is that some of the same people who argue that Romney is full of lies turn around and accept 100 percent a boast he made as a very young man. I'm not wiling to take that leap. I think it's possible he was bullshitting his friends about actually going out and impersonating an officer on the street.

Maybe he did do it. But I don't much trust the word of the Mittster in his 60s, let alone the (secondhand) word of the Mittster in his late teens.

7. There were stories

Of him handcuffing people, pulling them over, and stranding the girls. But nothing will probably come of this.

8. Depends on where, and how many times you do it.

But it's always a misdemeanor and often a FELONY.
