1. Retired sheriff who still wears his Sheriff embroidered knit cap all winter everywhere he goes;

  2. a former Sheriff who was fired, still has his knit cap and wears it around everywhere he goes;

  3. someone who was never a sheriff and never in law enforcement in any capacity whatsoever who found a sheriff knit cap and wears it around everywhere he goes

Which of those three scenarios might qualify as “Impersonating a Police Officer?” Any or all of the above?

    Doesn’t this boil down to “does wearing a knit cap with sheriff on it constitute impersonation of an officer”?

      Yes but I worded it the way I did because there is a person I have encountered who wears a sheriff’s knit cap and I was in a period of uncertainty whether he was retired or fired or just a poseur. I have decided he’s a poseur. Super creepy man kinda impersonating law enforcement on top of at least three other creepy things he’s doing and I’ve only had 3 brief encounters with him.
