AGENT

there is or was a reddit community that posted photos of these bozos and tracked their shenanigans. they called them "whackers". it's one thing (albeit lame) to be a private security guard. it is a whole other deal when they purposely try to make themselves look like official LEOs with shields, logos that look like badges, and official sounding verbiage. because digging into the details of any of these weirdos generally results in paydirt.

anyway, think about the kind of piece of shit who can be a cop in the US. now, imagine the guy who couldn't meet the bare minimum psychological or background check requirements (which don't seem to exist, but you know there's some kind of floor, below which no agency in the US will hire) but still wants to command the attention and respect on the streets.

Jeremy Dewitte is the king of this shit with his "Metro State" Vehicle Protection Services. there are probably a hundred videos on youtube of this guy getting caught pretending to be a cop by cops. he used to have his own channel where he recorded videos of himself impersonating a cop and upload them. stuff like pulling people over and giving them warnings, being generally menacing and threatening. he buys all of the most insane gear, multiple vehicles with modifications, and just does this shit. there was a lot of speculation about how it was all afforded, because the funeral escort game cannot be that lucrative. his wiki is wild.
