Here is what I found...
Section 946.70(1), Stats., states: "[W]hoever impersonates a peace officer with intent to mislead others into believing that the person is actually a peace officer is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor."
Did you identify yourself as a police officer? Did at any time you make a comman of anyone under threat of arrest? If not then I say the state's not gonna push it. Especially if you can get a jury trial. Worst case scenario is you're out of a few hundred for a lawyer.
No kidding. "Your honor, my client showed his driver's license to the boy because he wanted to prove that he lived in the area. By the way, how many drinks did the State's prime witness have that evening?"
A peace officer and a police officer are ousually 2 different things. I'm not sure about the laws in WI or the local community in question.
I didn't tell anyone I was a cop, nor did I threaten arrest. I flashed my drivers license like it was a badge with my left hand, while I had my right hand on my cell phone (sort of like how a cop would have his hand on his gun). The kid opened up the door right away and I walked away.
