Notes from the Resistance
Fury as heavily-armed unlicensed Seattle Walgreens security guard corners shopper, accuses her of stealing and threatens to put her in handcuffs and take her to the ground – before REAL cop shows up to save her [More]
One of the dumber ways to deal with a very real problem…
If he’s unlicensed, I’ll be surprised if insurance will cover the lawsuit.
It also makes me wonder about the manager’s qualifications and corporate practices.

He had a badge, his car had emergency lights, he pulled people over — but he wasn’t a cop, authorities say [More]
As always, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files, because the day may come when you’ll need an “I did not believe he was a real cop” defense.

In some instances, these scammers will demand the victims send photos and videos of them having sex with someone to prove they do not have drugs. [More]
Wait, you mean that was…? Ah, jeez, I haven’t felt this ripped off since I sent my PIN to Mr. Franky Samora…
How is anyone really this stupid?

Drove his car up to a spot a few miles east of Wittmann, parked, and started stopping women driving out-of-state cars. Told them he was an officer, accusing them of speeding, asked to see their driver’s licenses, suggested they could post a $20 cash bond for later appearance in court in Wickenburg. Two women from California believed him, and forked over $20. [More]
And just look at the legacy he pioneered…

A band of heavily-armed men kick in your door at zero dark thirty. Do you believe anything they say? Anybody can buy tactical garb and even badges and claim to be law enforcement. Criminals have been known to do this. Not believing them might be reasonable. Looks a lot like a home invasion. [More]
Hence my continued urging to be aware of the Fauxnly Ones Files, because the day may come when you’ll need an “I did not believe he was a real cop” defense, and they’ll help establish that this happens all the time.
When contacted, the public information officer for the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office did not disclose whether the operators of the truck had, in fact, pulled over any other motorists, or what charges they may be facing. She did confirm, however, that officers observed the vehicle flashing its red and blue lights on Monday. Deputies also made contact with the driver during a traffic stop and issued a citation, she said. [More]
So they know who it is and he’s letting everyone know it’s a gag…
Seems the fakest thing here is the “Only Ones” milking this.

Security video shows three masked men carrying guns shout “Seattle Police” while each trying to kick in the door. The homeowner grabbed a gun and fired multiple shots through the door at the intruders. [More]
Ah, the old Joe Biden Defense worked this time!
Except from the sound of it he may have had one of those guns not suitable for self-defense and made only for killing people…
As always, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files, because the day may come when you’ll need a “He was being such a scary thug I did not believe he was a real cop” defense.

Authorities searching for police imposters who pulled car over, stole from 2 men [More]
Rule of thumb: If it’s not a police car and they’re not in uniform, I’m taking off for the nearest cop station and calling 911. And doing whatever else I find appropriate.

Like these orcs.

During the home search, officials found fake law enforcement IDs, drug paraphernalia, tactical gear and a loaded firearm. Investigators also seized electronic devices for further investigation. [More]
So… Justice got served…?
As always, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files, because the day may come when you’ll need a “He was being such a scary thug I did not believe he was a real cop” defense.
Or would putting it that way make you look naive?

Who Is ‘Negasi Zuberi’? [More]
I see among other things he’s a “fauxnly one.”
Would I be out of line and subject to scornful “progressive” judgment to ask if the word “rigorous” might be appropriate?

Woman charged with stealing $246K in pension payments to dead LI police detective dad, buying Benz, 7-bedroom house [More]
Sounds like Daddy’s little girl learned from the best…
It also sounds like the system reflects the type of government incompetence and negligence that invites exploitation.

You never know when an “I was afraid he might not be a real cop” defense could use some validation that it’s a widespread and frequent enough phenomenon to be a legitimate concern.
[Via bondmen]
Do you think anyone who works for the government—not just the police—should be able to pull you over and detain you? And if a government employee who was never granted police powers assumes these powers unilaterally and clearly violates your constitutional rights, should you be able to hold them to account? Or should they be allowed to get off scot-free through “qualified immunity” merely because they work for the government? [More]

Last week, U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols sentenced Carter to nine months in federal prison for the theft of public funds. [More]
So … “illegal” gun … impersonating being a fed … but he’s not a “prohibited person” after all the other charges were dropped?
Guess that wouldn’t look good on Schneider’s guncreds.
I wish I thought a FOIA would do any good here…

Federal agents say four Polk County men were involved in a rash of armed robberies, all while pretending to be law enforcement officers. [Watch]
As I’ve continually noted, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files. You never know when an “I was afraid he might not be a real cop” defense could use some validation that it’s a widespread and frequent enough phenomenon to be a legitimate justification for resistance.
