There's more to this story then what you are saying, but you might try to make it easier for us by linking to the statutes and providing the exact wording on the complaint.

Another scenerio - The mother never realized you were not a cop... the kid smacked the mother, took the keys back and drove off the road - the mother files a complaint with the real Police claiming the cop did not safeguard the situation. The real cops go "huh?" and track you down to save their butts.

I never thought of that... :-(

Here Goes:

The plaintiff, State of Wisconsin, by it's attorney, for a complaint against the defendant alleges:

1. The defendant, name deleted, on or about the night of May 29th, 2004, was in the city of deleted.
2. The defendant was a patron at a local establishment so named deleted, located in the city of deleted
The defendant was witnessed as impersonating a police officer involving an occupied and unmoving vehicle outside of aforesaid establishment which is in violation of WI statute 939.51, a Class A misdemeanor, punishible by a forfeiture not to exceed $10,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 9 months, or both. (BlueMondaySkipper note: this is in error. 939.51 is actually the definition of the penalty for a class A misdemeanor. I did some research and WI statute 946.70 is probably what they mean)
4. The defendant caused such action as to lead the public-at-large to believe that he was an off-duty police officer.

WHEREFORE, the plaintiff demands a hearing with the defendant to face possible criminal charges. You will be notified within seven (7) days of the court date to be assigned in this case. You may wish to have an attorney present at the hearing.

Dated this 23rd day of June, 2004

It is signed by the Clerk of circuit court
