Central Fla. Officer Charged With Posing As Officer

 

A law enforcement officer in Central Florida was jailed Tuesday on a charge of posing as a law enforcement officer, according to WKMG-TV in Orlando.

 

The Eatonville police officer was reportedly jailed following a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation, WKMG-TV reported.

 

Investigators said Steven Allen Hill posed as a state attorney investigator in order to extort money to pay off a friend's debt.

 

Hill is charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and extortion.

I always wondered if you got held up on the street or carjacked in your driveway, could you impersonate an officer and say: "Police ... freeze ... I've been waiting for a moment like this to arrest one of you!" Or is that illegal.

Laws vary by state, but I doubt it’s illegal in that particular instance.

Sure sounds like a good way to get shot though.
