Impersonating a cop is a massive no no. One man in Florida discovered this out the arduous approach after he flashed the pretend police lights in his unmarked Dodge Charger at an intersection as a way to run a light-weight.
October 15, Frank Michael DeJiulio, Jr. was driving a black Dodge Charger when he approached the intersection of a light-weight that had turned pink, experiences Carscoops. DeJiulio proceeded to do what I’m certain we’ve all seen cops do after they don’t wish to watch for a light-weight to show: he activated his lights as a technique to say “hey lookout, I’m about to run this mild,” which he then did.
The issue is that DeJiulio wasn’t a cop however between his Charger and lightweight bar, he gave the impression to be making an attempt to idiot others into pondering he was one.
Unbeknownst to him, DeJiulio stopped instantly behind an actual cop, Detective William Harsanyi with the Hernando County Sheriffs. Harsanyi witnessed the whole lot and proceeded to cease DeJiulio.
DeJiulio initially denied the whole lot due to course he did:
Unsurprisingly, Harsanyi radioed dispatch to start a visitors cease on the Charger. In line with the report, the driving force, Frank Michael DeJiulio, Jr., initially denied having pink and blue lights. In fact, Harsanyi interjected to refute that. At that time, Dejiulio Jr. reportedly admitted his crime at that time.
Carscoops says DeJiulio is now going through prices, together with “prohibited use of lights and false impersonation.” That is along with a ticket for operating the pink mild. The actual kicker right here is the Charger. It was towed by authorities and is allegedly owned by DeJiulio’s girlfriend. His bond was set at $6,000. Oddly, regardless of the cost of false impersonation, Hernando County Sheriffs say they don’t even have proof that DeJiulio was posing as a police officer in every other situations, akin to interactions with the general public which is a little bit of a reduction.
