Florida Statutes 843.08 — FALSE PERSONATION "A person who falsely assumes or pretends to be a firefighter, a sheriff, a deputy sheriff, a police officer, [. . . ] and takes upon himself or herself to act as such, or to require any other person to aid or assist him or her in a matter pertaining to the duty of any such officer, commits a felony of the third degree."* Jeremy Dewitte has long since pointed to the law's requirement that one 'take it upon himself to act' like a cop, correctly stating to anyone who will listen that his appearance alone is not a crime in the State of Florida. With this brief video, Jeremy Dewitte might actually regret his habit of recording everything. Probably not, though. *Many other positions are listed in Florida's false personation statute. To keep things focused, they have been omitted from the quoted text. ~~~ /r/realworldpolice (New!) @realworldpolice ~~~ Real World Police is a proud supporter of The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, which provides pro bono legal representation, amicus curiae support, and other legal resources to protect the First Amendment freedoms and the news gathering rights of journalists. ~~~ Do you have independently verifiable inside information on a story we are or should be covering?
