Hello,
I could use a little help:
Is it an offence to impersonate an officer in the CF (with overseas experience)?
I know that the criminal code forbids:
"Personating peace officer
130. Every one who
(a) falsely represents himself to be a peace officer or a public officer, or
(b) not being a peace officer or public officer, uses a badge or article of uniform or equipment in a manner that is likely to cause persons to believe that he is a peace officer or a public officer, as the case may be,
is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction."
But "Peace Officer" only includes a member of the CF when that person is acting in quasi-police functions.
Any help or previous experience would be useful. If you need more details, please PM me.
Mods: If this is in the wrong forum, apologies - please move.
Cheers.
