If you have a firearm in a public place, which isn't your assigned post, you're fair game for a 10-15! Trust me, I'll do it! I'm sick of you guys thinking you're real cops. And yes running code, on a public street, when others think you're an officer, is impersonating! We get calls all the time of idiots running lights with their emergency lights activated. They think it's law enforcement and we end up catching hell for the stupid shit you guys pull. KNOCK IT OFF!!!

In response to the last know it all; it would not be a violation of 493 it would be a violation of 790 and the traffic would be 316,322, etc. 493 is a guide like everything else.
