    I suppose you would have to have him show you some proof, then perhaps call and verify that information.

    Or ask him the honest question,


    Even if the person is guilty of a traffic violation, what must be worn at any time a ticket is given by an officer?


    A. Badge

    B. Hat

    C. Gun

    D. Bulletproof vest

    E. All of the above

    I would never ever believe someone who said they were a police officer if I only knew them from online without some sort of independent, unbiased, untampered with verification system in place. Where could one find something like that?

    As usual, JIA has this one right ...

    I forgot mine once. Big mistake. I just called the offender the next day, and told him to rip up the ticket. No use going to court, just to have it thrown out!

    It is MOST appropriate to display (as a minimum) my badge of authority if I'm acting on an incident, to include a traffic stop. I make traffic stops off duty from time to time and display my badge and police ID when I'm making contact with a driver. But that is just one example.

    I am not glued to this ^^^ requirement if I am acting on a critical incident. ;)
