NEW YORK (CNN) -- Federal agents arrested a man on Monday, charging him with possessing and selling more than 1,300 counterfeit badges representing 35 law enforcement agencies, the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency said.
The counterfeits are "very, very good," said Special Agent in Charge Martin Ficke, who added that nine out of 10 would "pass scrutiny."

Democratic Party operative Raymond Reggie was let off by the Judge today for USING one of these.
No problem for Democrat Party operatives.

I would love to know how many idiots actually bought them. Even funnier if they displayed them. Imagine the scene

Along with the badges, they seized two NYPD police uniforms, two-way radios and six firearms, including a Glock 9 mm handgun, a Beretta semiautomatic rifle and a Winchester shotgun, the agency said. Agents also confiscated a used casing from a shoulder-fired missile

It's funny, the feds are so gung ho about having some kind of standardized drivers license, how about they start with standardizing first responder IDs. Which is a bigger threat?

Whenever I see a person flash a badge, and it says "REMOTE LINKING FORBIDDEN, 50megs does not support remote linking of images or files for FREE accounts, PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR ACCOUNT", .....

I know it is illegal to impersonate an LEO but never knew that fake badges were illegal too.

I saw two characters on the X-files who I will bet are not real FBI agents, but they have badges.
