Actually, the legal term is personating a police officer, not impersonating.  And, yeah, it's a serious crime.

Maybe in Maryland, but not in S.C. Code 16-17-720.

Fuck your redneck state.

What's S.C. Code 16-17-721?  No more than 3 negroes can legally assemble in public?

Again, everyone seems to ignore this question, but how regular was this behavior?  Was this a one-time prank, like many replying here assume, or did Mitt reguarly like to play cop, as seems to be alluded to in the original article?  Impersonating a cop regularly seems like an entirely different malfunction compared to doing it once as a prank.

This is a good point, actually.

If this was something he did regularly, that would be kind of bizarre.

And dragging my other analogy in, same thing with Obama and his cocaine use. Once in a while, fucking around in college? Probably no big deal.

Regular user? Yeah...that is a bit different.

From all information I've heard about Obama, it was the former rather than the latter.

Apparently, he had quite the penchant for it.  Multiple times.  Multiple statements from multiple witnesses.

If a politician says he never did any drugs, that means he did a little.  If a politician says he did a little drugs, that means he did a lot.

Or something.

Actually, the story says that he bragged to his friends that he did it.  That's not the same as actually doing it.  There's just the one case where he actually is known to have done it.

As said earlier, this is about a man who has serious issues in other arenas.  Bragging to his college friends isn't a crime, and doesn't even factor on the scale of douchiness that he has set already.

That doesn't mean I won't vote for him, douchiness and all.  It is a factor, though - but a factor based on real issues, not 40-year-old pranks or using a dog carrier to transport a dog.

You didn't even read your own link, did you? It's essentially the same story from the OP. The "evidence" that he had done it multiple times is from a husband and wife who say Romney told them 40 years ago that he liked dressing up as a cop and pulling people over. That's hardly conclusive.

That said, if it turns out that Romney did have a habit of playing dress up and pulling people over, that's pretty damn nutty.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Good. Now move to a state where he's not going to get 2/3 of the votes anyway.
