    The 1st picture is of a NYPD cop but the next 2 look like rent a cops.
    It can be hard to tell at a glance.

    Yesterday I was in CVS and walked by a Montgomery County deputy. I thought. At first.

    She was neatly done up in uniform with a fairly extensive chest rig.

    As I passed her, I noted...
    • The back of her vest said "Security" in grey text so dark you had to strain to see it against the black vest.
    • Her shoulder patch was exactly the same as an official one until you looked close and read it. It said "Montgomery County Tact Unit". Not "Tactical" or "Tact." but "Tact".
    • I had to strain to see her pistol holster but when I found it, it was empty and attached to the left side of her chest rig, so high it would be very hard to draw with her left hand and so far back it would be unreachable with her right hand. The kicker? It was a soft nylon holster with an over-the-top safety strap for retention, something that probably came from Uncle Mike's. It looked like it wouldn't fit anything bigger than a K-frame snubby.
    It really, really bugs the shit out of me when security guards go to so much trouble to look like real LEOs that they're flirting with an arrest for impersonation.

    So when I see cops obviously doing something stupid I try not to make judgements until I'm absolutely sure it's a real cop.

    There is a fine line to impersonating a LE officer. even to the point of leading others to blieve you are a LE officer can be crossing the line.

    New York, Gross incompetence, and NY’s Finest making the case for defunding.

    Why other LEO do not immediately ostracize and shame obviously incompetent dingleberries like this I can not even guess.

    Oh, wait a minute, I actually can make a pretty good guess.
    Obviously a tactical advantage carrying like that. The gravity will assist her if she has to unholster her weapon.

    I found a card on my door when I came home from work. it said Harris County detectives on it. Had the Logo of harris county I thought. I called the number thinking it was a real Harris Sheriff Dect. Turned out to be a private dect. looking for my Roommates Brother. They were chasing some debts. He then made thinly veiled threats about doors being kicked in and people are not gonna be happy. I told him any door kicking would mean Shotgun shells expended, and that it was probably a federal offense because I was an FFL at time. He left me alone.
