When you get cuffed, this is why:

 

Pretending to be a federal agent is a federal crime in the United States, punishable under 18 U.S.C. § 912.

 

It is a crime to falsely represent oneself as a federal agent or employee with the intent to intimidate or deceive another person.

 

This offense carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a fine.

 

Additionally, state laws may also prohibit impersonating a law enforcement officer.

 

It is important to note that it is illegal to impersonate a federal agent, regardless of whether the person being impersonated is real or fictional.

 

How Does the U.S. Government Define Impersonating a Federal Agent?

Impersonating a federal officer is defined as falsely representing oneself as a federal agent or employee with the intent to intimidate or deceive another person.

 

This can include wearing or displaying a badge or other insignia of a federal agency, as well as using language or other means to make it appear that one is a federal agent or employee. The intent to intimidate or deceive is a key element of this crime and must be present for an individual to be found guilty of impersonating a federal officer.

 

Additionally, depending on the specific circumstances and the jurisdiction, it could be considered a crime of deception and fraud, where even if the person didn’t intend to get any financial gain, it’s still considered a crime.
