Teen Arrested for Impersonating a Cop



A teenager from Virginia tried to impersonate an officer and attempted to pull over a car whose driver turned out to be an actual off-duty police officer. The teenager, Joshua R. Rosene, had blue flashing lights mounted on top of his car. The officer thought the vehicle looked suspicious, so instead of pulling over, he called the police. He followed Rosene's car until police officers came to charge Rosene. Rosene was charged with impersonating an officer and was released on a $2,500 bail.

Comments from Allen:  
Rosene uploaded a photo with Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker to Facebook just hours before the arrest in what appears to be the same shirt that he's wearing in his mug shotFirst, impersonating a cop is a dangerous thing to do. There is a high danger to the person stopped, and the one impersonating the cop is potentially putting himself in danger.  Despite this, it is the third time this has happened in this county in Virginia this year.

Fortunately for this young man, Virginia deems this conduct a misdemeanor.  In Idaho, this conduct is also a misdemeanor.

The most unfortunate victim in this episode appears to be Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who appeared with Mr Rosene in a photo op just about three hours before his arrest.

Mr. Rosene was arrested shortly after attempting to stop the police officer. Gov. Walker suffered a 5 point drop in presidential poll numbers since the incident, and is now polling at 0%. While there may be no empirical data showing this association hurt the Governor's poll numbers,  well, it didn't help.
