This works far more often than it should.  Just try asking a cop a for piece of identification other than a quick look at a badge and see what you get.

A 32-year-old man was arrested this weekend after trying to coerce a woman into his car near Winter and Barret avenues by pretending he was a police officer.

Michael Myers of Louisville is charged with one count of impersonating a police officer after being arrested Saturday night.

Myers is accused of trying to convince a woman to get in his silver Crown Victoria by allegedly telling her that he would give her a ride home because she had had too much to drink, according to the arrest report.

Two firefighters noticed the woman and Myers and asked Myers if he was an officer, to which Myers allegedly said yes and gave a badge number but not his name.

Eventually, the report said the firefighters called Louisville Metro Police, suspecting that Myers was not an officer.

The report says that Myers consented to a search of his car, in which police found a silver badge that read “Official Boob Inspector, Department of Titillation.” The arresting officer noted in the report that the badge did look official on first glance.

The woman told police that Myers did threaten her with jail if she didn’t go with him.
