Complaints against officers

[Wikicop20 + 186]

The recent threads on people attempting to be something they are not reminded me of this. For those of you interested in some seriously amusing and repulsive behaviour from across the pond (FL), these videos are worth a watch.

The background is the Florida man, Jeremy Dewitte, ex-con (arrested firstly in 1998 for impersonation after making off from petrol station after stealing $15 of petrol) causes mayhem!

He set up a funeral escort company "Metro-State", (that clear descriptive name) which can use purple lights & sirens escorting funerals. He wears a black or grey police/security style uniform, enjoys carrying batons, spray, cuffs, a less-lethal but lookalike firearm, etc with good service stripes of course ... whilst escorting a funeral. 

But in doing this, Dewitte been arrested many times, for impersonation mainly, but also for throwing chairs off of a balcony in Chicago, IL recently. Dewitte entertains himself as a "Motor Officer" (common US lawmen term for officers who use motorbikes) and has a nice badge to go with it... 

Very aggressive behaviour, often swears and attacks the bonnets of motorists, attempts to belittle real police officers/sheriff's deputies. Had employees arrested as well I believe...

I could go on, but if you've got some spare time:

Oh and has a fascination with the rank "Sergeant".

Cheers,

fbo.

Yeah I've read a bit about him online, some of the larger US Police YouTubers reported on him when the story first broke. 

He took advantage of an obscure Florida statute that enabled the use of Emergency lights by private citizens for the purpose of a "Funeral Escort" which is just insane and you wonder why such statute was written in the first place. He built his entire persona and company around that one statute, set up his own 'agency' for want of a better word. 

He has felony convictions which bars him from entering a career in law enforcement and is a registered sex offender. 

Very dangerous individual in my opinion with a very large and arrogant ego.

Yes too right, a complete nutter. As a 'felon' I believe they are prohibited from carrying a firearm ... and yet is allowed to carry OC spray, baton and less-lethal ... what?!

He carries a glock mock up pepper style BB Gun, this is all in place in order to add to the illusion. 

He's playing dress up, he's just extremely dedicated with the fantasy and willing to invest vast sums of money into it.
