Washington felon caught impersonating police officer at crime scene: ‘He’s got a firefighter helmet too’
Story by Jacki Thrapp • 2h

A Washington convicted felon is accused of impersonating a police officer when he arrived at various emergency calls and authorities discovered he had a “large amount of police equipment.”

Michael Scaletta-Teates responded to an active police scene in Bremerton, Wash. on Sept. 5, where he wore a dark uniform with a tactical vest that showcased a metallic Edmonds Police Department badge and “police” and “SWAT” patches, according to the Bremerton Police Department.

“I thought you were like one of our detectives at first,” a Bremerton Police officer told Scaletta-Teates, police body camera footage obtained by KOMO showed.
 
“I know some of the guys with the task force,” Scaletta-Teates told the officers during his arrest.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Had he claimed to be an illegal alien, they probably would have just told him to not do it anymore and released him.  It is liberal Washington after all. :whistle:
