Three people in California, including an aide to the state attorney general, Kamala Harris, have been arrested for impersonating the police after an ill-fated networking attempt with actual police departments in southern California.
Meanwhile, in New York City, a former member of the gang Latin Kings turned Hasidic Jew, Avroham Gross, was sentenced to at least two and a half years in prison for impersonating a police officer. Under the guise of a New York police department officer, he forged parking permits and obtained a discounted meal at the IHOP restaurant chain.
