Teenage Police Officer
Teenager poses as a police officer for a shift before he is caught. How alert are these police if a 14 year old can pass off as one? For more about what the teenager did and how he got caught click here.
This is sad, but I can’t believe they are charging the boy. If possible I will find the Charlotte article about a radio host who posed as a child and boarded a school bus... they dropped the charges against him and fired the school bus driver. I want to hear about the repercussions of the police officers. There has to be accountability. This young man never had a gun, but what if it was a criminal and not a youth who perpetrated this offense. Could have been deadly.
I agree with Adria. Things could have turned out bad. How good are these police if they let someone pretend to be one of them. More training is needed. I thought police were suppose to be aware of what's going on. What else have the police missed...
