What if he was a security guard in uniform, washing his car on the way home from work, and did the same?

Then he would still be an idiot.

If the alcohol was not listed and no forensics done what do they have, a guy with a dumb badge around his neck, a gun in his pocket (legal for a chl) and the question of impersonating a leo. Seems to me that if the badge said "CHL holder" than he was not impersonating a "public servant". This will probably cost him a lot of money but from my limited legal experience I can't believe he will be convicted.

It seems to me that the only witness to testify that Trujillo was impersonating a public servant would be the other person at the carwash who allegedly showed Trujillo his prescription bottles and tried to hide them. If he has a good lawyer, I think he will beat it.

Then again. Why on earth was he taking it upon himself to play detective with a fellow citizen on the street? He is lucky it wasn't someone like me. I would have told him to go pound wood. If that was not good enough for him, he would have had a real problem on his hands.

Unless you witness an action that puts lives in immediate danger, the best thing to do is be a good witness and keep your distance. I don't need to know if you have prescription medicine in your car.

Had he lived by the "don't start none and there won't be none" philosophy, he wouldn't be in the situation he is in now. But, he just couldn't mind his own business.
